Drilling bit optimization is one the key concepts in drilling engineering.It is considered as one f the economical factors in an overall well budget.Computers are strictly used as decision-making systems in the optimization calculations.Formation parameters are easily processed according to drilling bit selection criteria by the help of computer programs.Although computer program is an interface by which user makes computer some jobs,database is another important part of this necessary decision-making systems.Data is stored and can be modified in the database.Also necessary calculations can be accomplished by database so that results of these calculations and data can be reached by the computer programs.In this study,a database,holding field data is designed and a computer program calculating necessary parameters and related excel file holding output are prepared.Although mostly lowest costper foot is preferred and there isn't an absolute method for choosing optimum bit,this design can be helpful in selection period.

Probabilistic assessment of liquefaction-induced lateral ground deformations Al Bawwab, Wa'el Mohammad Kh; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) A new reliability-based probabilistic model is developed for the estimation of liquefaction-induced lateral ground spreading, taking into consideration the uncertainties within the model functional form and the descriptive variables as well. The new model is also introduced as performance-based probabilistic engineering tool.
Integrated nonlinear regression analysis of tracer and well test data Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01) One frequent observation from conventional pressure transient test analysis is that field data match mathematical models derived for homogeneous systems. This observation suggests that pressure data as presently interpreted may not contain details concerning certain reservoir heterogeneities. On the other hand, tracer tests may be more sensitive to heterogeneous elements present in the reservoir because of the convective nature of the flow test. In this study, a possible improvement of conventional pressure...
Design implications of analytical and laboratory studies of permanent abandonment plugs Akgün, Haluk (Canadian Science Publishing, 1999-02-01) We analyze analytically and numerically the stress distribution along the plug-rock interface and within an axially loaded plug emplaced in a borehole in rock. Experiments show that the interface strength increases with decreasing plug radius and with increasing plug length. Axial strength decreases as a power law of plug radius. An increase in the modulus ratio (ratio of plug modulus to rock modulus) increases the interface strength, until it levels off at a ratio of about 5.0. For short plugs, the tensile...
Application of the modified Q-slope classification system for sedimentary rock slope stability assessment in Iran Azarafza, Mohammad; Nanehkaran, Yaser A.; Rajabion, Lila; Akgün, Haluk; Rahnamarad, Jafar; Derakhshani, Reza; Raoof, Amir (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) The Q-slope system is an empirical method for discontinuous rock slope engineering classification and assessment. It has been introduced recently to provide an initial prediction of rock slope stability assessment by applying simple assumptions which tend to reflect different failure mechanisms. This study offers a correlation relationship between Q-slope and slope stability degree using case studies of sedimentary rock slopes from 10 regions of Iran. To this end, we have investigated 200 areas from these r...
Estimation of RQD by digital image analysis using a shadow-based method Saricam, T.; Öztürk, Hasan (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) We propose a method for segmentation of cores and estimation of RQD from digital images of rows of core in core boxes in order to compute RQD in an automatic way by finding and locating natural fractures in cores and measuring intact core lengths. First, three digital true color images of a core box, with the same camera position but different light source positions, are taken using a high resolution camera. After detection of the core box with color thresholding, the sections of the box are detected by usi...
