It is obvious that estimation of filter cake thickness is one of the important parameters in drilling operations. In this study, dynamic filtration data was used to determine the filter cake thickness. Predictions were made through linear filtration cake model by using dynamic filtration experimental data. Linear filtration model can be used to approximate radial filtration model; only the thickness of the filter and filter cake is sufficiently smaller than the radius of the filter surface exposed to slurry. It was observed that the thickness of the filter cake at dynamic conditions is less than that of static conditions since there is no continuous deposition due to erosion effects at dynamic conditions.

Predicting Frictional Pressure Loss During Horizontal Drilling for Non-Newtonian Fluids SORGUN, MEHMET; Ozbayoglu, M. E. (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) Accurate estimation of the frictional pressure losses for non-Newtonian drilling fluids inside annulus is quite important to determine pump rates and select mud pump systems during drilling operations. The purpose of this study is to estimate frictional pressure loss and velocity profile of non-Newtonian drilling fluids in both concentric and eccentric annuli using an Eulerian-Eulerian computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. An extensive experimental program was performed in METU-PETE Flow Loop using two ...
Modeling of CO2 storage in an oil reservoir Gumrah, F.; Dulger, M.; Gunaydin, D.; Senel, O. (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) This study provides an overview for the carbon dioxide sequestration process in an oil reservoir by using the software CMG's GEM. Different scenarios are applied for the oil reservoir description. Firstly, a single layered reservoir is considered and simulation studies are performed, as this reservoir is homogeneous, heterogeneous and fractured. Secondly, a multi-layered reservoir is examined. In the second case, a heterogeneous system and a heterogeneous system composed of homogenous layers are selected. F...
Investigation of Porosity and Permeability Impairment in Sandstones by X-ray Analysis and Simulation Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Civan, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Both porosity and permeability constitute the major parameters in core analysis. In this study, the variation of these two parameters along a sandstone core sample was investigated during formation damage. A water-based drilling fluid was dynamically circulated through the core sample for three different time intervals of 15 min, 45 min, and 60 min at 100 psi circulation pressure. The core sample was analyzed using x-ray digital radiography by sectional image approach. The differences in the porous media du...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Pipe Eccentricity Effect on Flow Characteristics of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids SORGUN, MEHMET (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) The prediction of accurate drilling fluids behavior inside an annulus is especially important in drilling engineering during hydraulic program design. The flow characteristics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids drastically change in the annuli when the inner pipe is eccentric. In this study, the fluid flow inside concentric, partially eccentric, and fully eccentric annuli are modeled using computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the effect of pi...
Modeling of underground gas storage in a depleted gas field Gumrah, F; Izgec, O; Gokcesu, U; Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-15) It is possible to predict the behavior of fluids in permeable and porous medium under different operating conditions by using reservoir models. Since geological data and reservoir properties can be defined most accurately by reservoir models, it has been accepted as a reliable prediction tool among reservoir engineers. In this study, a gas reservoir has been modeled with IMEX Module of CMG Reservoir Simulator. Rock properties, gas composition and certain production data were entered to the model as input da...
