Slope failures may cause production interruption and equipment loss in addition to the potential danger for personnel. A potential instability in parts of the slopes near residential areas may result in damage on the surface utility structures as well as legal issues. In Orhaneli Surface Lignite Mine, Altintas village is located close to the existing southwest slope of Panel SA-6 in Sagirlar Sector. South-east slope which is also near Altintas village had some slope stability problems. Safe and uninterrupted future production in Sagirlar SA-6 panel and assessment of the preventive measures to protect the structures of Altintas Village are the main targets in this work. Potential for a possible slope failure and its effects on structures of Altintas village are assessed and some remediation measures are proposed. Remediation suggestions are predicted to increase safety against effects of a potential slope failure. Potential risks are evaluated by means of comparing safety factors which are determined by modeling the different slope geometries and preventive measures with a program using limit equilibrium methods. Slope stability analyses in this work are conducted by Rocscience SLIDE program which is a method of slices program based on the limit equilibrium techniques. Optimum slope geometries for different production directions and alternatives are investigated and alternative solutions for the improved safety of mine operations and nearby structures of Altintas Village are assessed.

Effects of polymers and CMC concentration on rheological and fluid loss parameters of water-based drilling fluids
Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2007-01-01)
Fluid loss during drilling operations has a very significant effect on both reservoir formation damage and monetary terms. There are many additives to control this unwanted phenomenon. Nevertheless, most of these substances are artificial chemicals. Thus, they are not only expensive, but also hazardous to the environment. In this article, a more natural method was applied to overcome the higher filtration problems by employing carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) and polymers (XT), DSHV, and MAC PR. Drilling flu...
Modeling and Experimental Study of Newtonian Fluid Flow in Annulus
SORGUN, Mehmet; Ozbayoglu, M. Evren; Aydın, İsmail (2010-09-01)
A major concern in drilling operations is the proper determination of frictional pressure loss in order to select a mud pump and avoid any serious problems. In this study, a mechanistic model is proposed for predicting the frictional pressure losses of light drilling fluid, which can be used for concentric annuli. The experimental data that were available in the literature and conducted at the Middle East Technical University-Petroleum Engineering (METU-PETE) flow loop as well as computational fluid dynamic...
Friction factors for hydraulic calculations considering presence of cuttings and pipe rotation in horizontal/highly-inclined wellbores
Sorgun, Mehmet; Aydın, İsmail; Ozbayoglu, M. Evren (2011-08-01)
Pressure loss calculations have a vital role for determining hydraulic horsepower requirements and to predict bottomhole treating pressure. One of the major concerns in developing hydraulic programs is to estimate the frictional pressure losses while cuttings are present in the annulus during pipe rotation. An experimental work has been carried out in a cuttings transport flow loop capable of operating at various inclinations. The pressure drop in the test section was recorded for variable flow rates, cutti...
performance analysis of drilling fluid liquid lubricants
Sönmez, Ahmet; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2011)
Excessive torque is one of the most important problems in oil/gas drilling industry. Friction between wellbore/casing and drill string causes excessive torque. This study discusses performance analysis of drilling fluid lubricants, which are used as friction reducers in well-bore. Three different types of commercial chemical lubricants, which are fatty acid and glycerid based, triglycerid and vegetable oil based and polypropylene glycol based, diesel oil, and crude oil, which consists of different API gravi...
Accurate modeling of surge and swab pressures of yield power law fluids in concentric annuli
Erge, O.; Akın, Serhat; Gucuyener, I.h. (2018-01-01)
Accurate numerical modeling of surge and swab pressures in concentric annuli is proposed. The numerical scheme is developed for the laminar flow occurring during the drillstring axial movement. The model incorporates Yield Power Law (YPL) fluids, which is a good representation of the most of the drilling fluids. A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package is used to validate the developed numerical model. Also, the mathematical model and CFD analysis are compared with the existing models from li...
