Formulation and Environmental Impact Evaluation of Walnut and Soya Bean Oil Based Drilling Fluid [PDF]

, 2016
One of the oil and gas hazard that associated with drilling operation is oil based drilling fluid and its associated cutting disposition. It is highly imperative for policy maker to propagate the use of environmental friendly oil based mud for drilling ...

Water‐based drilling fluids formulated with mature fine tailings

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Mature fine tailings (MFT) are persistent, highly stable colloidal suspensions generated as byproducts of bitumen extraction from oil sands. Given their environmental risks, identifying viable applications for MFT could reduce their accumulation while offsetting natural resource use.

Assessment of Yield Stress in Oil-Based Drilling Fluids

, 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 mechanical model while other approaches define the fluid properties as comparable matters. Here logarithmic values from shear rate

Application of Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks to estimate oil field drilling fluid density at elevated pressures and temperatures

, 2019
International audienceThe petroleum industry today has no choice, but to explore new and ever more deep and challenging pay zones as the most of the shallow oil and gas producing pay zones are severely depleted during the years of production.

Occurrence of severe slugging in oil production lines and mitigation methods: A numerical simulation approach using ALFAsim®

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Severe slugging represents a major challenge in offshore production systems, potentially compromising operational stability and the integrity of installations. Although established simulators such as OLGA® are widely used for its analysis, there is a gap in the literature regarding the application of the one‐dimensional simulator ALFAsim® for ...

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...
