Lab 7 measurement of gel strength of drilling mud sample by rheometer

The report details an experiment to measure the gel strength of drilling mud samples using a rotational rheometer, with gel strength reflecting the shear stress of the mud under static conditions and providing important information about how the mud will perform during drilling operations. Key steps involved preparing bentonite mud samples, taking gel strength readings at 10 seconds and 10 minutes after the samples were at rest, and recording the measurements in units of pounds per 100 square feet.

Drilling Lab - Mud Dilution

This document describes an experiment to create drilling mud with different densities by diluting an initial mud sample. The experiment aims to lower the density of an initial mud sample from 8.8 ppg to 8.7 ppg by adding a calculated volume of water. The procedure involves creating an initial mud sample, measuring its density, adding a calculated volume of water, and measuring the density of the diluted mud. The results show errors in the final densities compared to the targets, likely due to inaccuracies in measuring or adding the water volumes. The document concludes that performing these types of experiments helps students learn how to create and dilute drilling muds as required for different well conditions.

Mud density

Kamal Abdurahman

This document summarizes a student's fluid mechanics lab experiment on measuring mud density. The aim was to learn how to use a mud balance apparatus to measure the density of drilling mud and see how density changes with the addition of barite. The student first prepared a bentonite mud and measured its density. Barite was then added to increase the mud density, which was remeasured. Understanding mud density is important for maintaining proper hydrostatic pressure to prevent fluid influx from formations during drilling.

Lab 2 preparation of drilling mud of desired density.

This document describes an experiment to prepare a drilling mud with a density of 11 pounds per gallon (ppg) using barite and fresh water. It provides the objectives, materials, theory, and procedure. The key steps are to calculate the weight of barite needed using a density equation, mix the barite and water, measure the mud density with a mud balance, and ensure it is 11 ppg. Precautions like cleaning equipment and eliminating bubbles are also outlined.

This document summarizes an experiment conducted by Muhammad Sulaimon Rasul to determine the percentage of sand-sized particles in a drilling fluid sample using sand content equipment. The experiment involved preparing a water-based mud using bentonite and barite, then measuring its density. The sand content equipment was used to separate sand-sized particles from the mud sample by filtering. The percentage of sand was then read directly from the graduated measuring tube of the equipment. The results showed a sand content of 5% for the tested water-based mud sample.

Mud Filtration Test

Kamal Abdurahman

This document discusses mud filtration experiments. It aims to monitor the rate of fluid loss from a filter press under controlled conditions and measure the thickness of residue deposited on the filter paper. Filtration properties are important for understanding invasion into porous formations and filter cake buildup on wellbores. The experiment uses a standard filter press to test mud samples under static and dynamic filtration conditions at varying temperatures and pressures. Results like fluid loss volume and filter cake thickness indicate how much water/oil wetting and permeability damage may occur in formations. Formation damage can reduce productivity and is affected by factors like filter cake properties, filtrate invasion, and drilling/completion operations.

SARWAR SALAM

The document describes an experiment to measure the funnel viscosity of a drilling fluid sample using a Marsh funnel viscometer. The Marsh funnel viscometer measures the time required for a certain volume of fluid to pass through the funnel, providing a measure of viscosity. The experiment involves preparing a drilling fluid sample, calibrating the Marsh funnel with fresh water, then measuring the time for 946cc of the sample to pass through the funnel. The funnel viscosity measurement provides an indication of changes in the drilling fluid viscosity over time, though it does not directly measure the true fluid viscosity. Potential sources of error during the experiment are also discussed.

Drilling Lab - Gel Strength

This experiment aimed to determine the gel strength of a drilling mud using a viscometer apparatus. Gel strength indicates a mud's ability to suspend cuttings. A mud was prepared and mixed, then tested for gel strength at 10 seconds and 10 minutes after circulation stopped. At 10 seconds the gel strength reading was 125 lb/100ft2, and at 10 minutes it was 175 lb/100ft2, showing the mud's gelation increased over time when static. The viscometer allows accurate measurement of gel strength from dial readings.

The experiment procedure involves stirring a mud sample, then measuring the torque required to rotate a disk in the sample after 10 seconds and 10 minutes to determine the gel strength.

Drilling Lab - pH Meter Measurement

This document describes an experiment to measure the pH of a water-based mud (WBM) using a pH meter. It provides background on how pH is measured and its importance in drilling operations. The student calibrated the pH meter using water with a pH of 7 and acid with a pH of 4.01. They then measured the pH of the WBM and found a reading of 7.89, but after accounting for the calibration error of 0.27, the actual pH of the mud was 8.16. The experiment demonstrated how to properly calibrate and use a pH meter to determine the pH of a drilling mud.

Lab 4 measurement of plastic viscosity of different mud samples by viscometer.

This lab experiment aims to measure the plastic viscosity of drilling mud samples using a rotational viscometer. Plastic viscosity is a parameter that characterizes the resistance of a fluid to flow and is measured by taking the difference between viscosity readings at high and low shear rates. The results of this experiment will help determine how effectively the mud is able to suspend cuttings and weighting agents.

Mud dilution experiment

1. The experiment aimed to dilute a drilling mud from 8.65 ppg to 8.45 ppg by adding 666.66 cc of water incrementally and measuring the mud weight each time. 2. Errors in the experiment likely contributed to the measured mud density being 8.45 ppg instead of the target 8.5 ppg, including impurities in the water, inaccurate measurements, and bentonite losses during mixing and weighing. 3. Proper dilution of drilling mud is important to avoid issues like lost circulation, formation damage, decreased rate of penetration, and poor hole cleaning during drilling operations.

Pressurized mud-balance2

MohammedFouadAmeen

1. The document describes an experiment conducted using a pressurized mud balance to more accurately measure the density of drilling mud samples. The pressurized mud balance works by sealing drilling mud in a sample cup under pressure, compressing any entrained air to negligible volumes and providing a more accurate density reading. 2. The experiment involves filling the sample cup with mud, pressurizing it using a plunger assembly, balancing the instrument, and reading the density measurement. Releasing the pressure, cleaning the components, and discussing the importance of accurate mud density measurements for well control and preventing issues like lost circulation or formation damage are also described. 3. Having an accurate measurement of mud density is important for well control by

Mud weighting

Muhammad Faisal

1. The experiment aimed to prepare a mud with a known density and then increase its density by adding barite. Barite has a high specific gravity of 4.2, which allows mud density to be increased up to 21 pounds per gallon. 2. Procedures involved mixing bentonite and water to form a mud, then weighing and adding barite while stirring. The mud balance measured the initial and final mud densities. 3. Barite is the most common weighting agent due to its ability to significantly increase mud density up to 21 ppg, control formation pressures, and stability. It is also inert, readily available, and not classified as hazardous.

Hydrodynamic Design and Analysis of Horizontal Axis Marine Current Turbines W...

João Baltazar

This paper presents the computational models used by the authors at MARETEC/IST for hydrodynamic design and analysis of horizontal axis marine current turbines. The models combine a lifting line method for the optimization of the turbine blade geometry and an Integral Boundary Element Method (IBEM) for the hydrodynamic analysis. The classical lifting line optimization is used to determine the optimum blade circulation distribution for maximum power extraction. Blade geometry is determined with simplified cavitation requirements and limitations due to mechanical strength. The application of the design procedure is illustrated for a two-bladed 300 kW marine current turbine with a diameter of 11 meters. The effects of design tip-speed-ratio and the influence of blade section foils on power and cavitation inception are discussed. A more complete analysis may be carried out with an IBEM in steady and unsteady flow conditions. The IBEM has been extended to include wake alignment. The results are compared with experimental performance data available in the literature.
