Analysis of cuttings concentration experimental data using exploratory data analysis
Chowdhury, Dipankar; Hovda, Sigve; Lund, Bjørnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cuttings transportation is a complex phenomenon involving many inter-acting variables. Experimental investigations on cuttings transport are carried out by different research groups for decades and varying findings are ... -
Annular frictional pressure losses for drilling fluids
Saasen, Arild; Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar (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. ... -
Cement Placement: An Overview of Fluid Displacement Techniques and Modelling
Foroushan, Hanieh K.; Lund, Bjørnar; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During drilling operations, effective displacement of fluids can provide high-quality cementing jobs, ensuring zonal isolation and strong bonding of cement with casing and formation. Poor cement placements due to incomplete ... -
Cuttings Transport With Oil- and Water-Based Drilling Fluids
Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Deviated well sections are common in most modern offshore well construction designs. In the North Sea region, which is a good example of mature areas, practically all producer or injector wells have highly deviated well ... -
Experimental Bench-Scale Study on Cuttings-Bed Erosion in Horizontal Wells
Pedrosa Consicion, Herman Camilo; Lund, Bjørnar; Opedal, Nils van der Tuuk; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (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 Methods for Investigation of Drilling Fluid Displacement in Irregular Annuli
Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Experimental methods are still indispensable for fluid mechanics research, despite advancements in the modelling and computer simulation field. Experimental data are vital for validating simulations of complex flow systems. ... -
Experimental Study of the use of Particles for Tracking the Interfaces in Primary Cementing of Concentric and Eccentric Wells
Taheri, Amir; Ytrehus, Jan David; Taghipour, Ali; Lund, Bjørnar; Lavrov, Alexandre; Torsæter, Malin (SINTEF Proceedings;4, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this study, our recent and new approach for detailed tracking of the interface between well fluid and cement by using particles is investigated. The particles can enable us to know the precise location of the interface ... -
Experimental study of the use of tracing particles for interface tracking in primary cementing in an eccentric hele–shaw cell
Taheri, Amir; Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Torsæter, Malin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We present the results of the displacement flows of different Newtonian and Herschel–Bulkley non-Newtonian fluids in a new-developed eccentric Hele–Shaw cell with dynamic similarly to real field wellbore annulus during ... -
Rheology assessment and barite sag in a typical North Sea oil-based drilling fluid at HPHT conditions
Ofei, Titus Ntow; Ngouamba, Elie; Opedal, Nils van der Tuuk; Lund, Bjørnar; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The occurrence of barite sag in drilling fluids has relatively often been the cause for gas kicks in oilwell drilling. The subsequent absorption of gas into drilling fluid could lower the density and reduce the viscosity ... -
Use of concentric hele-shaw cell for the study of displacement flow and interface tracking in primary cementing
Taheri, Amir; Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Torsæter, Malin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We present our new designed concentric Hele-Shaw cell geometry with dynamic similarity to a real field wellbore annulus during primary cementing, and then, the results of displacement flow of Newtonian and yield-stress ... -
Wet Drilled Cuttings Bed Rheology
Pedrosa, Camilo; Saasen, Arild; Lund, Bjørnar; Ytrehus, Jan David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The cuttings transport efficiency of various drilling fluids has been studied in several approaches. This is an important aspect, since hole cleaning is often a bottleneck in well construction. The studies so far have ...
