Results from experiments conducted in downward liquid-gas flows in inclined, eccentric annular pipes, with water-air and water-polymer-air mixtures as the working fluids, are presented. The gas was injected near the middle of the test-section length.

Summary A leak-off test (LOT), commonly known as a formation-pressure-integrity test, is a verification method to estimate the fracture pressure of exposed formations. After cementing each casing string, a LOT is run to verify that the casing seat ca

A leak-off test (LOT) is a verification method to estimate fracture pressure of exposed formations. After cementing each casing string, LOT is run to verify that the casing, cement and formation below the casing seat can withstand the wellbore pressu

SPE Members *IADC Member Abstract Diverter systems, used as an alternate means of well control while drilling surface hole, have a demonstrated history of failure. Of particular interest in this paper are failures related to excessive backpressure, s

This paper illustrates how soil boring data is used to determine the formation break-down pressure for the Green Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico. Example soil boring data is integrated with deeper well log data to accurately estimate overburden str

SUMMARY The method presented in this paper uses an experimentally calibrated equation-of-state (EOS) model to estimate the swelling of oil-based drilling fluids caused by dissolved methane. With this method, the pit gain associated with a given kick

One problem often confronting reservoir engineers is an analysis of the reservoir mechanisms involved in the depletion of abnormally high pressure reservoirs. Two mechanisms that have been proposed are: (a) high rock compressibility; and (b) shale wa

Horizontal wells often include sections with angles greater than 90 degrees due to steering uncertainties or the well path following the reservoir updip. If gas is present inside the well-bore either because of underbalanced drilling or taking a kick

The "Dynamic Kill" technique has been used to perform off-bottom kills of both, surface and underground blowouts. Usually these kills are designed under the assumption that no kill fluid falls below the injection depth into the upward flow of the for
