Assessment of Yield Stress in Oil-Based Drilling Fluids
Ytrehus, Jan David; Feneuil, Blandine Fleur Prudence; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Yield stress is commonly used to describe the rheological properties of drilling fluids. There are various methods to define such yield stress. Some approaches provide yield stress values sufficient to derive a proper fluid ... -
Cement Placement: An Overview of Fluid Displacement Techniques and Modelling
Foroushan, Hanieh K.; Lunde, Bjørnar; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01)During drilling operations, effective displacement of fluids can provide high-quality cementing jobs, ensuring zonal isolation and strong bonding of cement with casing and formation. Poor cement placements due to incomplete ... -
Cuttings transport with oil- and water-based drilling fluids
Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Saasen, Arild (Chapter, 2021)Deviated well sections are common in modern well construction. In mature areas like the North Sea region, practically all producers or injector wells will have highly deviated sections. These wells must be drilled and ... -
The Effect of Different Drilling Fluids on Mechanical Friction
Ytrehus, Jan David; Taghipour, Ali; Golchin, Arash; Saasen, Arild; Prakash, Braham (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)A very important aspect in highly inclined wellbores is the mechanical friction. For extended reach drilling (ERD) and through tubing extended reach drilling (TTERD) this can be a limiting factor. Friction caused by the ... -
Experimental Bench-Scale Study on Cuttings-Bed Erosion in Horizontal Wells
Pedrosa Consicion, Herman Camilo; Lund, Bjørnar; Opedal, Nils van der Tuuk; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cuttings-beds formation while drilling wellbores is a common challenge, especially for horizontal wells, as drilled particles have higher area to be deposited and form cuttings-beds, which can cause several problems such ... -
Experimental Methods for Investigation of Drilling Fluid Displacement in Irregular Annuli
Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Experimental methods are still indispensable for fluid mechanics research, despite advancements in the modelling and computer simulation field. Experimental data are vital for validating simulations of complex flow systems. ... -
Fundamentals and physical principles for drilled cuttings transport – Cuttings bed sedimentation and erosion
Pedrosa, Camilo; Saasen, Arild; Ytrehus, Jan David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The increasing necessity of challenging wellbore structures and drilling optimization for improved hole cuttings cleaning has been growing along time. As a result, operator companies have been researching and applying ... -
Hole cleaning and wet-granular rheology of rock cutting beds: Impact of drilling fluid composition
Pedrosa, Camilo; Saasen, Arild; Ytrehus, Jan David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cuttings-beds formation is an issue that must be considered during all wellbore drilling operations. This problem increases at highly deviated or horizontal wells, where cuttings removal efficiency becomes one of the most ... -
Hydraulic Behavior in Cased and Open Hole Sections in Highly Deviated Wellbores
Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Kosberg, Birgitte Ruud; Carazza, Luca; Gyland, Knud Richard; Saasen, Arild (Chapter, 2019)In this paper we present results from flow loop experiments with an oil-based drilling fluid with micronized barite as weight materials. The use of micronized barite allows using lower viscosity drilling fluid, providing ... -
