Dry Emulsifier Georgia-Pacific Chemicals introduced the new XPLOR line of dry emulsifiers that combine performance with operational benefits in terms of efficiency and total use costs. The emulsifiers have demonstrated performance in diesel-, ¬mineral-oil-, or synthetic-based drilling fluids. They are compatible with a variety of solvents, thus reducing the need to purchase multiple types of emulsifiers. Shipped in 25-lbm bags, the product is also easier to pour than traditional liquids in barrels, allowing for more-precise dosing. Use of XPLOR dry emulsifiers eliminates drum-transportation, cleaning, and disposal costs. Typical ¬liquid emulsifiers may contain approximately 50% base oil, but XPLOR dry emulsifiers have a higher activity level. As a result, less emulsifier is required to treat a drilling fluid than with a ¬liquid emulsifier. XPLOR dry emulsifiers have minimal resistance to flow, even at temperatures below freezing, so they are easier to work with in cold climates than conventional liquid emulsifiers that need to be hot-boxed, steamed, or jacketed in order to pour in frigid conditions.

Assessment of Reservoir Saturation Monitoring in Newly Developed Carbonate Reservoirs By

Fatima H. Alkaba, Saudi Aramco

A

bstract

Determining water saturation accurately is the most critical factor in reservoir monitoring projects. Both Pulsed Neutron (PN) and resistivity logs have been extensively used in Saudi Arabia fields on a routine basis to monitor saturation changes and dynamics of reservoir performance. This critical evaluation has been evident in conventional resistivity that is run in every well drilled. The estimation of formation fluid saturation from conventional resistivity logs requires the sufficient knowledge of porosity, Archie exponents and formation water salinity. Resistivity logs read about 10 times deeper than PN logs; making them possibly more representative of reservoir conditions where measurements are taken in the undisturbed zone. With the onset of low salinity water injection and uncertainties of rock electrical properties, resistivity logs lose accuracy.

Recent advances in spectroscopic nuclear techniques have improved accuracy of formation quantification from Carbon/Oxygen ratio (C/O)

measurements. This paper examines how C/O log provides better estimation of water saturation when the near wellbore reservoir is free of borehole fluid re-invasion. The ratio responds to the volumes of carbon and oxygen found in formation and borehole, making the evaluation independent of formation salinity, unlike resistivity logs.

This paper presents a study conducted in a giant carbonate field in Saudi Arabia to examine and compare the different techniques of PN logs [inelastic C/O and capture sigma] to quantify water saturation in several observation wells. It was found that: ● C/O saturation led to better representation of saturation. ● Sigma is difficult for quantifying saturation.

Additionally, this paper provides recommendations and operational notes for the pre-job planning stage of this PN technology

Introduction At the “birth” of a well, i.e., once the well is drilled and before it is completed, open hole (OH) logs are run to determine formation porosity,

lithology, saturation and permeability (hence productivity). As an essential part of the OH logging suite, resistivity tools are run to determine the true formation resistivity (Rt) and thus evaluate water saturation using Archie type empirical formula. The equation relates true formation resistivity, typically from the tool’s deepest curve reading past the invaded zone, and porosity obtained from other logs, such as density, neutron, and/or NMR, to water saturation when formation water resistivity (Rw) is known. This relationship is given in Equation 1.

Where Archie’s electrical properties a, m, and n are lithology factor, cementation exponent, and saturation exponent respectively.

Archie’s electrical properties are determined from core lab measurements at simulated reservoir conditions.

Formation water resistivity is determined as a function of total dissolved solids (TDS), obtained from water samples or other measurement such as pulsed neutron capture spectroscopy (Ma et al., 2005). An accurate determination of formation water salinity is required since resistivity tool will not work

A on top of B) in Saudi Arabia that are undergoing waterflooding with injection water salinity of about 60 ppk. In the field’s first phase of production, rate tests provided no production of water (0% W.C.), while the geochemical water analyses of water samples from formation tester in multiple wells gave an average formation water salinity of about 238 ppk for Reservoir-A and 222 ppk for Reservoir-B.

Reservoir Characteristics Reservoir-A is composed of a fairly homogeneous clean carbonate matrix deposited in a shallow-marine setting.

Reservoir-B is the secondary target carbonate reservoir with an average thickness of 90 feet.

bond log (CBL) was run. Two years later, a PN log was run with brine in the wellbore while logging. As shown in Fig. 3, in ReservoirA, C/O water saturation overlaps with the original OH Formation Analysis Log (FAL) saturation, while water saturation from sigma was much lower. C/O in this case provided a better estimation of formation saturation, thus a reference log for future time-lapse saturation monitoring, while sigma provided poor results.

Formation Water Salinity Determination from PNC Variable sigma values of water can be used to produce water (Σw) saturation from the following equation:

More than 10 observation wells have been assessed, only three representative wells were chosen in this paper, to demonstrate the use of PN logging methodologies and their potential for time-lapse saturation monitoring.

The main focus of this analysis is to compare the saturation from each methodology and to determine which one is representative of the formation with the onset of injection. The PN jobs in the three observation wells were logged under shut-in conditions.

Issues related to saturation monitoring in shut-in wells will also be discussed.

The variable water sigma values to be used in Eq. 1 can be obtained from charts that relate water salinity to sigma values of formation water; the charts are provided by wireline service company interpretation chart books (Wireline Services Log Interpretation Chart Book, Weatherford, 2009).

Hence, current formation water salinity can be estimated by comparing the synthetic water saturation created from Eq. 1 to Sw from C/O, if C/O derived saturation is believed accurate.

The porosity values to be used in the equation are obtained from OH log interpretation assuming that formation porosity changes little with production.

Sigma values of matrix, hydrocarbon and water are shown below for the target field in Table 1:

Sigma Matrix (Σma)

Water saturation from PNC was generated using a value of 58 capture

units of sigma water (water salinity of 100 ppk). Sigma derived water saturation, as shown in Fig. 4, is compared to the water saturation from C/O. Knowing that original salinity value used for the OH resistivity interpretation was 205 ppk (TDS) and the current salinity value used for sigma derived water saturation (compare well with Sw from C/O) is 100 ppk, it can be concluded that injected water reached to Reservoir-A in this well, making the water saturation from sigma unrepresentative of formation in this case.

Well.1 Reservoir-B – Effect of Cement Quality In Reservoir-B, as shown in Fig. 5, both C/O and sigma provided unexpectedly higher water saturation than FAL. By examining the CBL in Fig. 6, the high amplitude provided by Variable Density Log (VDL) indicates a poor cement bonding between cement and casing, leaving channeling behind the casing. Therefore, both C/O and sigma were not able to read beyond the channeling into the true formation, due to the shallow depth of investigation.

Well.2 Reservoir-A – Evaluating Water Sweeping This well is an old well that was originally drilled and completed as Reservoir-B oil observation. Reservoir saturation logs were run by the same tool in two different years to trace any water breakthrough. (Location of this well is shown in Fig. 7).

During the time of logging, oil was in the wellbore. In reservoir-A, shown in Fig. 8, recent C/O and Sigma water saturation showed no change compared to previous water saturation; indicating the larger Sw change up to -X105’ SSTVD compared to original FAL. To better understand the large increase of water saturation compared to FAL, a nearby well (was drilled

around the time Well.2 was drilled) was examined. FAL of the nearby well was run two years before previous saturation log of Well.2. As shown in Fig. 9, the nearby well had the same water saturation profile. This agrees with the interpretations of C/O and sigma.

Well.2 Reservoir-B In Reservoir-B, OWC in the wellbore was above -X625’ TVDSS. Recent Sigma provided a water saturation that overlays that of a previous year exhibiting unreasonable high water saturation at the top of the reservoir.

Gamma ray (as shown in Fig. 10) went off-scale when compared to gamma ray from FAL above -X625’ TVDSS, which is probably due to some radioactive mineral deposits making the sigma readings go very high across that zone. When examining the recent C/O logs, measurements show an increase in water saturation compared to the original FAL. Water saturation from recent C/O is in agreement with water saturation from previous C/O, except for the following zone: [-X638’ to -X650’] TVDSS shows a decrease in recent water saturation compared to previous, which might be due to the position of the tool in the wellbore (across washout zone or clean).

Well.3 Reservoir-A – Effect of Borehole Fluid Re-invasion Recently, Well.3 was drilled with oilbased mud (oil in mud is lighter than formation oil) and logged with a full suite of LWD tools. After the well was cased with 4 ½” liner, a PN logging job was performed in this well 4 days after LWD was run in the borehole.

PN saturation is expected to produce a saturation profile similar to that of LWD with a window of 10 saturation units of uncertainty.

In Reservoir-A, as shown in Fig.

11, both C/O and Sigma saturation exhibited a similar saturation profile to the original OH saturation, except across the known Low Permeable Zone (LPZ) that is about 40 feet from the top of the reservoir, where PN saturation was lower than LWD. Within the given timeframe, mud filtrate was not given enough time to be dissipated into the formation, making the PN logs read the mud filtrate properties rather than the in-situ formation saturation.

Resistivity logs would have offered the invasion profile. At the time of logging while drilling only a very little drilling fluid would invade and as seen in Fig 11; no separation between the three curves, indicating that the logging has probably occurred before the possible extensive invasion. Data should have been acquired in flowing conditions or at least a wellbore clean up should have been performed prior to running PN logs, to avoid any effects of borehole fluid re-invasion on PN saturation results, especially on C/O results due to the relatively shallow depth of investigation.

The saturation profile of another lateral of the same well was examined to support the argument of afterdrilling affect rather than uncertainty of petrophysical parameters, such as water saturation and porosity, between the two saturation logs.

The other lateral original OH FAL water saturation, as shown in Fig. 12, exhibited the same saturation profile provided by Well.3 in Reservoir-A.

Well.3 Reservoir-B As shown in Fig. 13, in Reservoir-B, both C/O and sigma saturations showed no change in water saturation compared to FAL

Summary and Conclusions In general, logging results from C/O were ideal in monitoring the sweep

efficiency and tracking the injected water breakthrough with the time-lapse technique. The evaluation of the sweep efficiency becomes very critical, since any small variation in the saturation in such a massive field can yield a huge difference in the estimated remaining reserves (Eyvazzadeh et al. 2004). Use of sigma to quantify water saturation changes with time may yield erroneous results, especially in an unknown water salinity environment.

Recommendations The understanding of the limitation and uncertainties associated with each tool in different environments is necessary for designing future logging programs. Optimizing the logging programs and the efficient integration of data from different methodologies would lead to successful assessment of hydrocarbon volumes: 1. 1. For open hole or perforated cased hole completion, a period of flow of the well is recommended to clear any potential borehole fluid reinvasion. Duration of flow back is case-dependent. a. To have consistent results from PN logs, it is preferred to isolate potential communication between wellbore and reservoir, i.e., cased hole completion with no perforation.

2. Good cement is essential for saturation monitoring when using PN logs, thus a CBL is required.

Well bore bottom hole cleaning is an essential problem to be recognized when drilling oil or gas wells. Poor or under designed well hydraulics will lead to poor bottom hole cleaning.

Slip velocity correlationâ&#x20AC;şs have been developed in the past fifty years and recommendations of proper annular velocities have been suggested in order to prevent slippage of drill cuttings around drill collars and drill bit which in turn lead to regrinding of these cuttings causing a waste of the limited energy available to the drill bit. An average annular velocity of 80120- ft/ min has been seen in the oil industry to satisfy the criteria of the proper well bore cleaning. The variables required in determining the minimum flow rate are: hole diameter, angle of deviation, plastic fluid viscosity, yield point, mud weight, cutting specific gravity and the rate of penetration. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the impact that the various fieldcontrollable parameters have on hole cleaning of deviated, horizontal, and vertical wells along with specific hole cleaning problems which may occur at various hole sizes. Minimizing the cost is the target for hole cleaning, and specifically all the petroleum business

groups too. While it is important to know that the significance of drilling fluid in terms of its impact on the success or failure of a drilling operation can be compared to the significance of the blood circulating in our bodies.

Basically, drilling fluid is a fluid used to drill boreholes into the earth. Often used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs, drilling fluids are also used for much simpler boreholes, such as water wells.

Liquid drilling fluid is often called drilling mud. The three main categories of drilling fluids are water-based muds (which can be dispersed and nondispersed), oil-based mud, and gaseous drilling fluid, in which a wide range of gases can be used. The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion. To determine optimum drilling fluid properties and flow rates to minimize cuttings bed height and circulation time in high angle and horizontal wells. The method uses

empirical models relating the cuttings bed height and the bed erosion time to drilling fluid properties and flow rates. Bed erosion tests have been conducted using cuttings transport ability. Cuttings bed height as a function of time has been investigated by using variable flow rates (200 - 400 gpm) and four different drilling fluid compositions. Experimental results were used together with a non-linear failure analysis program to establish a functional relationship among drilling fluid properties, flow rate, cuttings bed height and the time required to circulate the borehole clean. A numerical example is provided to explain the field application of the method. The sequential calculations involved in determining optimum combination of the Power Law viscosity parameters n and K, and the flow rate to minimize the cuttings bed height and circulation time are also given. Field implementation of the proposed empirical correlations and the new method can aid optimization of circulation practices before tripping, and so reduce the associated risk of non-productive time.

All these operations require time and can vary significantly add to the cost of drilling a high-angle well. Therefore, there is a strong need to understand how different drilling variables influence cuttings bed erosion behavior which would also lead to development of models for better prediction of circulation time needed to clean the borehole from cuttings.

Test Progress Description: Figure. 3 shows the development of the bed erosion tests is demonstrated right below. The curve shows the variation of the solids amount inside the test section with time. In the first part of the curve, the increasing amount of solids indicates the period of injection and consequently, accumulation of solids in the annulus while drilling in similar conditions. In sequence, after a tall bed is built up, the cuttings injection is cut-off allowing the bed to reach steady state. The drilling fluid flow rate is then increased to the desired value for the bed erosion test. The amount of solids in the annulus starts decreasing until a new steady state is reached, representing the equilibrium solids amount after circulating the well.

Figure 5 illustrates the change in cuttings bed height as a function of time during bed erosion tests. The cuttings bed height is calculated mathematically by relating the cuttings content in the loop to its equivalent bed height for the case of the drill string lying at the bottom inside the casing. The values are cross-checked with the average bed perimeter recording taken after every minute during the bed erosion process.

Bed height variation in Figure 44 also shows the three distinct phases of the test progress; the cuttings bed build-up, formation of steady state bed height, and then bed erosion.

Experimental Results: The experimental data for all the bed erosion tests are shown in a table.1 The effect of drilling fluid flow rate on the bed erosion rate is shown in Figure.5 Results are given for the case where wellbore inclination is 87° and drilling fluid A is used.

In a typical bed erosion test, bed height decreases exponentially to a certain residual bed level (or it may go down to zero depending on the drilling fluid properties and flow rate) and it levels off at that value. As it is seen from

42 Petroleum Today

Figure.5: cuttings bed erosion occurs at a faster rate as the drilling fluid flow rate increases.

Figure .6 shows bed erosion curves obtained by using four different drilling fluids. Results are given for the case where the wellbore inclination is 90° and the drilling fluid flow rate is 200 gpm. Figure .6 shows that for a given drilling fluid flow rate, cuttings bed can be reduced to a lower level as the n/K ratio increases.

Figure.6 shows the effect of wellbore inclination on cuttings bed erosion in case of high angle wells. As it is seen from figure 46 cuttings accumulation and therefore the circulation time increases as the borehole inclination increases.

Figure .7 shows the combined effect of flow rate and drilling fluid n/K ratio on the equilibrium bed height. The n/K ratio can be interpreted as an inverse function of the drilling fluid viscosity.

In other words, high n/K ratio indicates low drilling fluid viscosity.A combination of high flow rate values and high n/K ratios provide optimum conditions for efficient borehole cleaning.

It can also be seen from the Figure .8 that the combination of very high viscosity, represented by low n/K values, and high velocities will give good hole cleaning. Use of a drilling fluid with intermediate viscosity seems to be less effective at all flow rates.

The results shown in table.1 indicate that turbulent flow is more efficient in removing the cuttings bed than laminar flow. In the turbulent flow case the shear stress applied onto the cuttings from the flow is larger than in the case with laminar flow. Therefore, enhanced cuttings removal w½as expected for these turbulent flow cases. The turbulent flow cases are predominantly shown for the highest flow rates shown in Figure 7. Furthermore, the good hole cleaning values shown for the low viscosity cases with n/K=0.006

for a pump rate larger than 200 gpm in Figure 8, are also case of efficient hole cleaning by turbulent flow.

In a typical bed erosion curve, bed height decreases exponentially to a certain residual bed level (or it may go down to zero depending on the drilling fluid properties and flow rate) and it levels off at that value.

Therefore, in this study, an exponential function is preferred to model cuttings bed erosion.The rate of cuttings bed erosion in the annulus with time can be given by the following non-linear exponential model: h= α+ β eγ Where, Ó α= Residual bed height (bed height corresponding to infinite circulation time) Ó β = Initial cuttings bed height Residual bed height Ó γ= Reciprocal of time constant The next step in the regression analysis is to correlate regression coefficients α, β, and γ with flow rate, and drilling fluid properties (in these case n and K values of a Power Law model).

Mathematically, α and γ can be related to flow rate by a logarithmic function as follows: α = -λ ln(Q) + (Ψ) - = -σ ln(Q) + (w) α and β are related to each other by the following equation: β= h’ (0)-α Here, h›(0)is the initial bed height which is determined by the drilling conditions (just before the drilling is stopped for tripping operation) past to circulation. Empirical correlations can be used to determine h›(0).

The coefficients λ, Ψ, σ, and ω are dependent on drilling fluid rheological parameters and wellbore inclination.

The coefficients λ, Ψ, σ, and ω obtained for different polymer drilling fluid systems are related to the inverse viscosity function, κ.It represents the inverse of a special viscosity function,

K0. The special viscosity function K0 is an approximation of the viscosity of the fluid at test conditions. It is not a real viscosity in the sense that its value can be compared with proper viscosity values. However, an increase in K0 (or a decrease in n/K ratio) represents an increase in viscosity.

K= Final bed erosion model can be written as follows: h = f (Flow Rate, Drilling Fluid Properties, Time) Once the bed erosion model is developed, it can be used for sensitivity analysis to see the effect of drilling fluid properties and flow rate on the circulation time required to remove the cuttings from test section. Figure 48 shows the combined effect of inverse viscosity function κ, n/K ratio, and the flow rate on the circulation time necessary to clean the test section with 87° inclination. Initially, the bed height was 5 in. Figure 48 shows that for all viscosity values the time to clean the hole is reduced if the pump rate is increased. The increased circulation time for the largest flow rates for the most viscous fluids with the smallest n/K values is anticipated to be a result of extrapolating the model outside its data fundament. This small increase is therefore not correct.

It is evident from the data shown in Figure.8 that if a total removal of cuttings can be obtained with a viscous fluid, then this removal will be faster than if the removal should be conducted with a lesser viscous fluid. This can be practically difficult in some cases as the fast removal of cuttings with the highest viscosity fluid may generate excessive pressure loss compared to what is acceptable for the operation.

The optimum flow rate for removal of the cuttings is obtained for high viscous fluids as shown in Figure .8. This is not in disagreement to the results shown in Figure .7. The data shown in Figure .7 shows the equilibrium cuttings bed

height obtained by flowing fluids with different viscous properties. To be able to remove cuttings totally, a much larger pump rate may be required. It is the wall shear stress generated by this higher flow rate that is more efficient in controlling the hole cleaning operation.

Optimization of Drilling Fluid Rheology and Flow Rate For Minimum Circulation Time: The drilling optimization problem, as formulated in this study, requires finding the optimum values of drilling fluid rheological parameters, in this case, the power law model parameters n and K, and flow rate such that the circulation time will be minimum.

This equation h= α+ β eγ presents a unique relationship between the objective function (circulation time) and the operational variables (n, K and flow rate). Although are the estimated circulation time corresponds only to the length of the test section under consideration (90 ft), the model can be used to determine optimum drilling fluid properties and flow rate combination to minimize the circulation time for any practical horizontal wellbore length given the conditions that the annular geometry and the drilling fluid type are the same.

It should be noted that the circulation times relate only to bed erosion. In practice additional circulation times will be necessary to transport the cuttings to surface and remove them from the wellbore. The optimization problem is solved for the case where thetest section is completely cleaned out of cuttings (cuttings bed height, h, is equal to zero).

Example Problem: The practical application of the bed erosion model for selection of optimum drilling fluid properties and flow rate, given the conditions above, in order to determine the optimum rheologicalproperties (n, K)

and flow rate combination, such that the circulation time is minimum to remove the solids from the test section completely?

Bed erosion model is given by this equation as follows: H(t) = α+ β e-γt In order to find the time required for complete removal of cuttings, coefficients of the α, β, and γ, need to be determined.

Case –I: Increase the flow rate up to 400 gpm and circulate using the same drilling fluid as used for drilling.

The drilling fluid flow rate is the important factor for hole cleaning in high angle wells. As a conventional move toward one would like to increase the flow rate to a higher value using the same drilling fluid, in this case we suggest 400 gpm. The coefficients need to be calculated in order to determine the cuttings bed erosion curve from which the circulation time can be determined.

The results are summarized in below in the results table. The equation describing the bed erosion Curve in Case-I is given as follows: h(t) = -0.445 + 5.405 e-0.0007t In Case-I, 63 minutes of circulation time is needed to remove cuttings completely from the test section.

circulation time is minimum. The optimized drilling fluid rheological properties can be obtained using the bed erosion model. The results are summarized below in the results table.

The equation describing the bed erosion curve in Case-II is given as follows: h(t) = -0.412 + 5.371 e-0.0033t In Case-II, 13 minutes of circulation time is needed to remove the cuttings bed completely. The optimum n and K values and the coefficients of the bed erosion curve for this case are summarized in the results table.

Case –III: Circulate using viscous pill whose rheological properties and flow rate are optimized to ensure minimum circulation time.

The rheological properties of the viscous pill and itscirculation rate are optimized to provide adequate hole cleaning so that the circulation time is minimum. The optimized drilling fluid rheological properties, the flowrate and the coefficients of the bed erosion model for the Case-IIIare summarized in also in the results table.

The equation describing the bed erosion curve in Case-III isgiven as follows: h(t) = -0.638 + 5.598 e-0.0044t In Case-III, 8 minutes of circulation time is needed to remove cuttings completely from the test section.

The cuttings bed erosion curves for Case-I (conventional practice), Case II (optimized drilling fluid properties) and Case- III (optimized drilling fluid properties and the flow rate)are compared in figure.10. The drillers need to decide from the three circulation practices. It must be highlight that the circulation times above relate only to cuttings bed erosion. In perform additional circulation time will be required to transport the cuttings to the surface and remove them completely from the well bore. In specifying fluid properties and flow rates for optimum hole cleaning, one should remember that factors that assist hole cleaning may have detrimental effect on other well processes. In apply, a compromise is often necessary. The constraints of the optimization problem can be chosen as the maximum allowable equivalent circulating density, pump capacity, maximum allowable flow rate in consideration of borehole wall erosion, and cost of the operation.

Conclusions: To conclude, hole cleaning is one of the basic functions of any drilling fluid.

Cuttings generated by the bit, plus any caving or sloughing, must be carried to the surface by the mud. Failure to achieve effective hole cleaning can lead to serious problems, including stuck pipe, excessive torque and drag,

annular pack-off, lost circulation, high mud costs and slow drilling rates.

Cuttings transport is affected by several consistent mud and drilling parameters.

Removing cuttings from below the drill bit is still a critical function of a drilling fluid. The circulatory fluid rising from the bottom of the well bore carries the cuttings toward the surface. Under the influence of gravity, these cuttings tend to fall through the ascending fluid. This is known as slip velocity.

The slip velocity will depend upon the viscosity and density of the fluid.

The thicker the fluid, the lower the slip velocities will be. The more denser the fluid, the lower the slip velocity.

For effective cuttings removal, the fluid velocity must be high enough to overcome the slip velocity of the cuttings. This means that fluid velocity can be lowered in a highly viscous and cuttings still effectively removed from the well bore.

consistent mud and drilling parameters.

Removing cuttings from below the drill bit is still a critical function of a drilling fluid. The circulatory fluid rising from the bottom of the well bore carries the cuttings toward the surface. Under the influence of gravity, these cuttings tend to fall through the ascending fluid. This is known as slip velocity.

The slip velocity will depend upon the viscosity and density of the fluid.

The thicker the fluid, the lower the slip velocities will be. The more denser the fluid, the lower the slip velocity.

For effective cuttings removal, the fluid velocity must be high enough to overcome the slip velocity of the cuttings. This means that fluid velocity can be lowered in a highly viscous and cuttings still effectively removed from the well bore.

The density of a fluid is determined by other factors and is not usually considered a factor in hole cleaning, therefore we limit adjustment of hole cleaning properties to viscosity and velocity adjustments to the drilling fluid. The viscosity desired will depend upon the desired hydraulics and the size of the cuttings contained in the fluid. The velocity will depend on several factors the pump (capacity, speed, efficiency), the drill pipe size and the size of the bore hole.The velocity of a fluid will determine its flow characteristics, or flow profile.

There are five stages, for a drilling fluid: (1)transition (2) laminar (3) turbulent The ideal velocity is one that will achieve laminar flow because it provides the maximum cuttings removal without eroding the well bore. On the other hand, turbulent flow resulting from too high a velocity or too low fluid viscosity not only requires more horsepower but can cause excessive hole erosion and undesirable hole enlargement. The proper combination

of velocity and viscosity is a must for the right hydraulics and efficient hole cleaning. Cuttings will have a tendency to collect at points of low fluid velocity in the well bore annulus. cleaning. Cuttings will have a tendency to collect at points of low fluid velocity in the well bore annulus.

These areas are found in washouts and where the drill pipe rests against the wall of the well bore. To that end, it is a good practice to rotate and work (raise and lower ) the drill string while just circulating to clean the hole, as this will help keep the cuttings in the main flow of the fluid and not allow them to gather next to the pipe.Hole angle, annular velocity and mud viscosity are considered to be the most important.

Cuttings and particles that must be circulated from the well have three forces working on them: (1) A downward force due to gravity, (2) An upward force due to buoyancy from the fluid (3) A force parallel to the direction of the mud flow due to mud flowing around the particle.

The hole-cleaning process must offset gravitational forces acting on cuttings to minimize settling during both dynamic and static periods. Free settling occurs when a single particle falls through a fluid without interference from other particles or container walls. The larger the difference between the density of the cutting and the density of the liquid, the faster the particle will settle. The larger the particle is the faster it settles and the lower the liquidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viscosity, the faster the settling rate. Caught up settling is more realistic settling mode for near vertical and near horizontal time.

At relatively low flow rates, muds flow mainly along the high side and accelerate or enhance the Boycott effect. High flow rates and pipe rotation can dislocate the pattern and improve hole cleaning. If not properly supported, cuttings can accumulate at

the bottom of the hole or on the low side of inclined intervals. Plugs and stuck pipe can be caused by dragging bottom hole tools up through preexisting beds. Cuttings accumulations can be difficult to re-suspend, so mud properties and drilling practices which minimize their formation should be highlighted.

Cuttings transport efficiency is largely a function of annular velocity and the annular velocity profile. Increasing annular velocity will always improve hole cleaning, though it still must work with other hole parameters.

In fully concentric annulus, flow is evenly distributed around the drill string. Consequently there is an equal distribution of fluid energy for cuttings transport. However, the drill string tends to lay on the low side of the hole in inclined sections, shifting or skewing the velocity profile, the results of which is not conducive to cuttings transport. Cuttings accumulate on the bottom of the hole nearby to the drill pipe where the mud flow is negligible.

In this situation, pipe rotation is critical to achieve effective hole cleaning.

However, there are times when drilling a directional hole that pipe rotation will not be possible. All is not lost at this point since we can offset the detrimental effects of not rotating with different mud types and changing certain mud properties.Generally speaking, different drilling fluid types provide similar cuttings transport if their down hole properties are similar.

Properties of particular interest to hole cleaning include mud weight, viscosity and gel strengths. Mud weight helps maintain cuttings and slow their settling rate but it is really not used to improve hole cleaning. Instead, mud weights should be used to based only on pore pressure, fracture gradient and well bore stability requirements. Mud viscosities helps determine carrying capacity. Yield points historically has been used as the key parameter which

was thought to affect hole cleaning.

Gel strengths provide suspension under both static and low shear rate conditions. The ideal situation is for the fluid to have high, easily broken gels that develop quickly and are easily broken. Excessive high, progressive gels, on the other hand, should be avoided as they cause high transient pressures that cause a number of serious drilling problems. Ó Use hole-cleaning techniques to minimize cuttings-bed formation and subsequent fall which can occur

in 30 - 60 degree hole sections. Ó Operate elevated-viscosity fluids from the start because cuttings beds are easy to deposit but difficult to remove. Ó Treat mud to obtain elevated, flat gels for suspension during static and low flow rate periods. Consider using the mud system that will give you excellent values and superior suspension abilities. The system uses an untreated bentonite and a mixed metal hydroxide additive. Ó Schedule periodic wiper trips and pipe rotation intervals for situations where

Low Colloid Oil-Based Drilling Fluid

sliding operations are extensive. Ó Rotate pipe at speeds above about 50 rpm if possible to prevent bed formations and to help remove preexisting beds. Ó Expect little help from viscous sweeps, unless they are accompanied by high flow rates and pipe rotation Drilling Fluid Economics: Typical Composition and Costs - Unweighted Drilling Fluid (Barrels necessary to mix one barrel)

Drilling Fluid Selection Guide: To use this chart: If the well was a high angle well with possible reactive shales and the possibility of differential sticking, drilling fluid choices (in order of preference) are: (1) oil-base, (2) polymer and (3) potassium lime.

I would recommend further studies to the models presented in this thesis, either as a thesis work or a further research work, with a flow loop being used to verify the models apart from

the use of field data for verification which has been done in this work.

The following conclusions can be made which are relevant for the practical drilling operations in

horizontal and high angle wells.

1. Cuttings bed erosion occurs at a faster rate as the drilling fluid flow rate increases.

2. for a given drilling fluid flow rate, lower cuttings bed height is achieved as the n/K ratio increases. This means that cuttings removal is enhanced by reducing the viscosity of the fluid.

3. Cuttings removal was easier with turbulent flow than with laminar flow.

4. Cuttings accumulation in the well and therefore the circulation time required to clean the borehole from cuttings increase as the wellbore inclination increases.

5. More experiments need to be conducted to introduce effect of well bore geometry for instance well bore diameter and length, pipe diameter into the bed erosion model.

6. It is known that pipe rotation influences cuttings bed erosion significantly. Therefore, the model presented here needs to be further developed by including the effect of pipe rotation.

A reliable production of quality air For further information please contact : Karim Boghdadi : Regional Business Line Manager, Oil-free Air Division karim.boghdadi@eg.atlascopco.com Atlas Copco’s ZD is the alliance of the world renowned ZR screw compressor, which delivers quality dry air at medium pressure, and the highly efficient D booster which brings the air to 40 bar. ZD represents a quantum leap in reciprocating technology. It is a champion in energy saving and its design is revolutionary. You will appreciate its silencing canopy and its concrete baseplate that makes installation so easy. With its numerous versions and versatility, ZD brings tremendous benefits to your bottom line.

Customer benefits: Certified 100% oil-free – ZD compressors provide you with 100% pure, clean air that complies with ISO 85731CLASS 0 (2010) certification. CLASS 0 means zero risk of contamination; zero risk of damaged or unsafe products; zero risk of losses from operational downtime; and zero risk of damaging your Company’s hard-won professional reputation.

In 2006 Atlas Copco was the first manufacturer in the world to receive such certification on an oil-free compressor.

High reliability – The ZD’s reliability is based on several fundamentals. The first compression stages are rotary, which are world renowned for reliability. Air is dried at the outlet of the screw compressor, so only dry air enters the D booster, eliminating problems linked to condensates. The D booster’s horizontal design, with low vibration levels, ensures long life of internal components.

Maximum energy savings – Being a 4-stage configuration, the ZD is 7% more efficient in terms of energy than the typical 3-stage configuration. In addition you can further reduce energy costs by adjusting the required discharge pressure between 25 bar (362 psig) and 40 bar (580 psig). ZD is also available in a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) version, enabling 35% energy savings. For blowing machines equipped with air recovery systems, re-injecting the air back to the booster

allows further significant energy savings.

Advanced control and monitoring – To maximize efficiency and reliability, the Elektronikon® controls the main drive motor and regulates system pressure within a predefined and narrow pressure band. The Elektronikon® controller can be adapted to your specific needs with extra sensors, digital contacts, fieldbus and SMS communication functions. In combination with the ES multiple compressor controller, the operation of your complete compressor room is optimized.

A wide array of solutions for your compressor room – ZD allows you to manage your medium pressure and high pressure networks separately, which optimizes your investment and floor space.

Low maintenance – For air-cooled versions, no external cooling system is needed, saving on investment, maintenance and water consumption.

Use Your Energy Twice - With the adaptation of an Heat Recovery Control unit, the energy recovered in the cooling water of your water cooled ZD can be used for several uses : boilers, warming of premises, showers, cleaning processes.

This saves a lot of energy.
