The objective of this study is to determine hydrate formation conditions of a multicomponent polymer based drilling fluid. During the study, experimental work is carried out by using a system that contains a high-pressure hydrate formation cell and pressure-temperature data is recorded in each experiment. Different concentrations of four components of drilling fluid, namely potassium chloride (KCl), partially hydrolyzed polyacrylicamide (PHPA), xanthan gum (XCD) and polyalkylene glycol (poly.glycol) were used in the experiments, to study their effect on hydrate formation conditions.

Hydrate formation conditions of methane hydrogen sulfide mixtures
Bülbül, Sevtaç; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007)
The objective of this study is to determine hydrate formation conditions of methane- hydrogen sulfide mixtures. During the study, an experimental work is carried out by using a system that contains a high-pressure hydrate formation cell and pressure-temperature data is recorded in each experiment. Different H2S concentrations and both brine and distilled water are used in the experiments and the Black Sea conditions, which are suitable for methane-hydrogen sulfide hydrate formation are examined.

Modeling of newtonian fluids and cuttings transport analysis in high inclination wellbores with pipe rotation
Sorgun, Mehmet; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010)
This study aims to investigate hydraulics and the flow characteristics of drilling fluids inside annulus and to understand the mechanism of cuttings transport in horizontal and deviated wellbores. For this purpose, initially, extensive experimental studies have been conducted at Middle East Technical University, Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineering Flow Loop using water and numerous drilling fluids for hole inclinations from horizontal to 60 degrees, flow velocities from 0.64 m/s to 3.05 m/s, rate of penetra...
A study on heat transfer inside the wellbore during drilling operations
Apak, Esat Can; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006)
Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature in a circulating well is the main objective of this study. Initially, an analytical temperature distribution model, which utilizes basic energy conservation principle, is presented for this purpose. A computer program is written in order to easily implement this model to different cases. Variables that have significant effect on temperature profile are observed. Since the verification of the analytical model is not probable for many cases, a computer program (ANSYS...
Stochastic approach in reserve estimation
Ülker, Emine Buket; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2004)
Geostatistics and more specifically stochastic modeling of reservoir heterogeneities are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers for their potential in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with early integration of information. The uncertainty about the spatial distribution of critical reservoir parameters is modeled and transferred all the way...
Sensitivity Analysis of Major Drilling Parameters on Cuttings Transport during Drilling Highly-inclined Wells
Ozbayoglu, E. M.; Miska, S. Z.; Takach, N.; Reed, T. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a layered cuttings transport model is developed for high-angle and horizontal wells, which can be used for incompressible non-Newtonian fluids as well as compressible non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., foams). The effects of major drilling parameters, such as flow rate, rate of penetration, fluid density, viscosity, gas ratio, cuttings size, cuttings density, wellbore inclination and eccentricity of the drillsting on cuttings transport efficiency are analyzed. The major findings from this study are,...
