Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Drilling and Completion in Petroleum Engineering

Download or read book Drilling and Completion in Petroleum Engineering written by Xinpu Shen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern petroleum and petrotechnical engineering is increasingly challenging due to the inherently scarce and decreasing number of global petroleum resources. Exploiting these resources efficiently will require researchers, scientists, engineers and other practitioners to develop innovative mathematical solutions to serve as basis for new asset development designs. Deploying these systems in numerical models is essential to the future success and efficiency of the petroleum industry. Multiphysics modeling has been widely applied in the petroleum industry since the 1960s. The rapid development of computer technology has enabled the numerical applications of multiphysics modeling in the petroleum industry: its applications are particularly popular for the numerical simulation of drilling and completion processes. This book covers theory and numerical applications of multiphysical modeling presenting various author-developed subroutines, used to address complex pore pressure input, complex initial geo-stress field input, etc. Some innovative methods in drilling and completion developed by the authors, such as trajectory optimization and a 3-dimensional workflow for calculation of mud weight window etc, are also presented. Detailed explanations are provided for the modeling process of each application example included in the book. In addition, details of the completed numerical models data are presented as supporting material which can be downloaded from the website of the publisher. Readers can easily understand key modeling techniques with the theory of multiphysics embedded in examples of applications,and can use the data to reproduce the results presented. While this book would be of interest to any student, academic or professional practitioner of engineering, mathematics and natural science, we believe those professionals and academics working in civil engineering, petroleum engineering and petroleum geomechanics would find the work especially relevant to their endeavors.

Book Pneumatic Transport Modeling of Air Gas Drilling Hydraulics in Horizontal and Deviated Wellbores

Download or read book Pneumatic Transport Modeling of Air Gas Drilling Hydraulics in Horizontal and Deviated Wellbores written by Najeem Adeleke and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimal design of any drilling program requires a strong knowledge of drilling hydraulics. Field drilling technicians and drilling engineers designing air/gas drilling projects both typically need to know (1) the time it takes to circulate out a pill of formation material at any given depth in order to reduce drilling time (thereby reducing the cost of drilling); and (2) the optimum rate at which to flow the circulation fluid to ensure the hole is maintained free of cuttings at the minimum capacity (and thereby cost) of surface equipments. While there have been substantial studies and some established techniques for wellbore hydraulics design/analysis for conventional mud drilling, this is not the case for air/gas drilling.To this end, a transient numerical pneumatic transport model has been developed to study air/gas drilling hydraulics. This model is based on a mono-dispersed particulate two-fluid model (TFM). The mathematical representation of the problem involves the solution to coupled non-linear hyperbolic PDE's and therefore a detailed review of monotone and higher resolution schemes for hyperbolic systems is presented. Two hyperbolic model equations: (1) The benchmark Euler equation (2) The mono-dispersed particulate Two Fluid Model (TFM) equation, are presented along with analytical expressions for their decomposed characteristics. The Euler equation is used to demonstrate the efficacy of the numerical schemes discussed. The most efficient numerical scheme is then applied to solve the TFM equation. Numerical results compared to experimental data were satisfactory.The experimental work of Temple was used to evaluate the model for annular vertical wellbore air drilling flow conditions. Flow characteristic curves (FCC) that cover both dilute and dense phase flow conditions were generated. Simulation results showed a good match with experiments. While matching the data points in the dilute phase flow region was less precise towards the extreme end of the larger particles, the optimum flow velocity was still accurately predicted at 9.1 %AAD.Unlike vertical flow, air drilling experiments for horizontal flow pneumatic transport are difficult to come by. This applies to industry field data as well as they are usually incomplete and typically labeled as confidential information. Therefore horizontal pneumatic transport studies for food processing applications were used to evaluate the performance of the current model for horizontal and highly-deviated well systems. The area ratio correlations were incorporated into the TFM to account for the lower-side deposition and re-entrainment phenomenon peculiar to horizontal wells. While we were able to show a match in the FCC plots in the dilute flow region, it was difficult to establish a match for the dense phase region of the FCC plot. Predicted pressure drops in dense flow region of the FCC plot for horizontal systems were significantly lower than experiment. This was due to the inability of the current model formulation to account for slug flow regime typical of horizontal pneumatic transport systems transitioning from dilute to dense flow conditions.Overall, it was observed that the model is capable of predicting volumetric rate requirements and circulation time for hole cleaning in vertical wells. The model is also capable of estimating cutting circulation time in horizontal and deviated well sections while in dilute flow conditions only. However, the model was unable to accurately simulate the inherent transient behaviors expected under dense horizontal pneumatic transport. More studies need to be conducted in the area of constitutive relations specific to horizontal pneumatic transport flow regimes and empirical relations for the prediction of critical velocities. These will provide the capability of upgrading the current model for the prediction of fluid volumetric rate requirements in horizontal/highly-deviated well sections particularly under dense flow conditions.The transient model was also used to predict circulation time for dispersed slugs of cuttings from the bottom of a well with both vertical and horizontal sections. The model results can only be trusted to predict accurately when the flow in the horizontal section is maintained within the dilute flow region. In order to ensure that the flow in the horizontal section is maintained above flow condition, we developed correlations for optimum circulation velocity using three distinct data sets for both vertical and horizontal pneumatic transport systems in the literature. Our results showed a relative error less than 10 % for most data points and RMSRD less that 5.1 %.
