Annular frictional pressure losses for drilling fluids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the paper it is demonstrated how a Herschel-Bulkley fluid model, where the parameters are selected from relevant shear rate range of the flow and are parametrically independent, can be used for pressure loss calculations. ... -
Annular frictional pressure losses for drilling fluids

Characterization of Annular Cement Permeability of a Logged Well Section Using Pressure-Pulse Decay Measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The cement behind casings is an important barrier element in wells that should provide zonal isolation along the well. The hardened cement does not always isolate permeable formations, either due to placement issues or ... -
Comparison of Lost Circulation Material Sealing Effectiveness in Water-Based and Oil-Based Drilling Fluids and Under Conditions of Mechanical Shear and High Differential Pressures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A study was conducted to assess the performance of granular and fibrous lost circulation materials as preventative treatments and in remedial treatment of lost circulation in water-based and oil-based drilling fluids. For ... -
Development of One-Part Rock-Based Geopolymers for Downhole Cementing Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10)The use of geopolymers as a full replacement for cement in oil well cementing applications requires the development of not only environmentally friendly but also user-friendly cementitious materials. This study aims to ... -
Effect of buoyancy and inertia on viscoplastic fluid-fluid displacements in a regular and an irregular eccentric annulus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)Casing strings and liners are important subsurface structural components in petroleum and in geothermal wells. After the casing string has been run in hole, it is cemented to the formation by pumping a sequence of spacer ... -
The Effect of Different Drilling Fluids on Mechanical Friction
(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 ... -
Effect of Zn2+ and K+ as Retarding Agents on Rock-Based Geopolymers for Downhole Cementing Operations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Geopolymer material has a potential to function alongside Portland Cement as an efficient cementitious material for well cementing and plug and abandonment applications. Geopolymer material requires retarding agents to be ... -
Efficient Removal of Magnetic Contamination from Drilling Fluids – The Effect on Directional Drilling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10)Magnetic debris in a drilling fluid have a significant influence on the ability of the drilling fluid to maintain its function. Down hole logging can suffer from poor signal to noise ratios. Directional drilling in areas ... -

Experimental Bench-Scale Study on Cuttings-Bed Erosion in Horizontal Wells
(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 Study of Hydraulic Sealability and Shear Bond Strength of Cementitious Barrier Materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)In this experimental study, two different cementitious materials, including (i) a class of expansive cement currently used for plug and abandonment (P&A) operations and (ii) a non-cement-based naturally occurring rock, ... -
Fluid Migration Characterization of Full-scale Annulus Cement Sections Using Pressure-Pulse-Decay Measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Fluid migration behind casings is a well integrity problem that can result in sustained casing pressure, undetected leaks to the environment, and potentially very challenging remediation attempts. Understanding the geometric ... -
A numerical study of density-unstable reverse circulation displacement for primary cementing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Primary cementing of the casing string is the operation where the annular space behind the casing is displaced to a cement slurry. Once hardened, the cement should form a solid annular barrier and provide zonal isolation ... -
Oil-based drilling fluid's cuttings bed removal properties for deviated wellbores
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Results from cuttings transport tests in the laboratory using different field-applied oil-based drilling fluids with similar weight and varying viscosities are presented in this paper. The fluids are designed for highly ...
