Drilling is one of the most crucial processes in petroleum industry after the exploration phase. World’s economy relies completely on an oil market. The low price of oil will make a trouble for oil industry to continue routine operations. It is a key challenge for petroleum industry to utilize a cost effective method to reduce Non Productive time (NPT) and to mitigate the various problems...
**Produce water is considered biggest waste of petroleum fields. Water production increases with the increase in maturity of reservoir requiring more consideration for treatment. In Addition, water which comes from subsurface to surface contains number of elements including heavy metal, hydrocarbons, organic material and other chemicals constituents. These all elements present in produced...
A well completion is an integrated set of equipment and components that has been specifically designed to produce hydrocarbons from a particular reservoir as cost-effectively and safely as possible. Well completion is a very challenging job, because it is not that easy to select an appropriate completion design according to the reservoir characteristics without compromising on safety and...
Generally, the temperature and pressure of drilling fluid increase with the increase in depth. By the increase in pressure, viscosity of the drilling fluid increases due to compression whereas high temperature decreases its viscosity due to thermal expansion. Under these extreme conditions, well control problems become more complicated. Current logging tools even at their best are unreliable...
