• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
