..., structural configuration, stratigraphy, well performance, production logging (PLT) results etc. These have resulted in developing a respectable level of understanding of the distribution and strength of barriers/baffles and their effectiveness in the field performance. In a recent campaign to reduce...

... a geological model which could then be used to predict and mitigate drilling related problems. The equivalent mud weight is arguably the most critical drilling variable and an element of the new plan would take account of stress dynamics and formation strengths to develop a mud program for vertical...

... with various concentrations of nanozeolite. Compressive strength development of Class G cement, with and without nanozeolite, was studied using an ultrasonic cement analyzer (UCA) for 24 hours under high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) conditions. The porosity and permeability of set Class G cement...

... the identification of a new material that is acid-soluble in nature, water-insoluble, and possesses little/mild strength. These properties ensure the effective removal of various types of scale without damaging the tubulars. A novel laboratory approach was devised to meet the necessary criteria for an effective...

... a significant differential pressure that could sustain the drilling fluid column. Pumpability of CS-LCMs and mechanical strength performance over time were evaluated using a high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) consistometer, ultrasonic cement analyzer (UCA), and modified PPA following this fit-for-purpose...

This application promises to open the prospect of drilling similar wells without complications and reduce NPT in Kuwait. real time system Wellbore Design drilling operation Reservoir Characterization strength mud weight mud weight window Upstream...

... Abstract Geomechanical failure parameters are best estimated from core samples, which are not always available. To address this, numerous relationships have been proposed that relate rock strength to parameters measurable with geophysical well logs, but they tend to have limited accuracy or low...

The paper will present the data by; discussing common misconceptions regarding composite pipe repairs and offering solutions to overcome the challenges on-site to meet the requirement for the application of compliant...

... extensive lab work that included rheology measurements, thickening time tests, free water and sedimentation tests, fluid loss test and compressive strength test. Data generated supported the use of low density fluids formulated with HSG in Wasia Formation when applicable. Also, this study supported the use...

In the field of mechanics of materials, repeated application of stress is referred to as fatigue loading. Well events such as hydraulic fracturing, completions or workover apply fatigue loads to the wellbore...
