Enhanced Rheological and Filtration Performance of Drilling Fluids Using Fe3O4/Saponin/Cu(II) Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drilling fluids used in high‐performance well operations often struggle to maintain rheological stability, colloidal dispersion, and filtration control under harsh downhole conditions. This study engineered a multifunctional Fe3O4@Saponin/Cu(II) nanocomposite to address these challenges.

Wellbore stability in a depleted reservoir by finite element analysis of coupled thermo-poro-elastic units in an oilfield, SW Iran

Results in Earth Sciences, 2023
Sustaining wellbore stability in depleted reservoirs is a crucial concern. With production from hydrocarbon reservoirs, the reservoir's pore pressure is reduced over time, and the reservoir is depleted since field development is one of the main purposes ...

Preparation and Performance Evaluation of a Self‐Generated Particle Plugging Agent Based on Thermosetting Resin

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A thermosetting in situ curing resin microsphere system has been developed. It has controllable phase transition time and particle size. This system addresses the current challenges of low strength, shear susceptibility, and short phase transition time in polymer microsphere blockers and thermoplastic particle blockers.

3D finite element modelling of multilateral junction wellbore stability

Petroleum Science, 2018
Wellbore failure can occur at different stages of operations. For example, wellbore collapse might happen during drilling and/or during production. The drilling process results in the removal of an already stressed rock material.

Geomechanics Analysis of Well Drilling Instability: A Review

Journal of Engineering, 2023
Wellbore instability is a significant problem faced during drilling operations and causes loss of circulation, caving, stuck pipe, and well kick or blowout. These problems take extra time to treat and increase the Nonproductive Time (NPT).

Preliminary test on modified clays for seawater resistant drilling fluids [PDF]

, 2015
The quality of a drilling fluid declines in salt water conditions. An engineered clay (HYPER clay) was developed for geosynthetic clay liners with enhanced resistance to aggressive conditions.

Dynamic tensile strength and fracture evolution of characteristic shale with bedding and hole using linear regression theory

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The spiral conical perforations generated during methane in situ explosion fracturing operations lead to tensile fracture propagation in shale reservoirs being governed by the combined effects of impact pressure, bedding, and aperture under explosive loading. Using multiple regression analysis and digital image correlation technology, the mechanisms of
