Hamza","doi":"10.52716/jprs.v13i1.648","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52716/jprs.v13i1.648","url":null,"abstract":"Drilling soft and fragile areas such as (high permeable, cavernous, fractured, and sandy formations) have several problems. One of the most critical problems is the loss of drilling fluid into these formations in whole or part of the well. The loss of drilling fluid can lead to more significant and complex problems, such as pipe sticking, well kick, and closing the well. The drilling muds are relatively expensive, especially oil-based mud or those that contain special additives, so it is not economically beneficial to waste and lose these muds. Artificial neural networks (ANN) can predict drilling fluid losses before they occur based on drilling parameters data and drilling fluid properties of wells effected by lost circulation problems located in the same area. This paper developed two artificial neural network models to predict drilling fluid losses in the Dammam formation- Rumaila oil field in southern Iraq. The two models have the same topology and structure. The first model used the early stopping technique to stop the training when we get the global minimum and the second model used specific epochs to complete the training. The models could predict various types of losses with high accuracy. The accuracy of implementing R2 for the first and second models was 0.9302 and 0.9493, respectively. The early stopping technique lead to obtain a model with acceptable accuracy in a short time without relying on a specific number of epochs.","PeriodicalId":16710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Research and Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88700801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drilling mud performance can be assessed for solving the problems of the hole cleaning, fluid management, and hydraulics controls. The rheology factors are typically termed through the following parameters: Yield Point (Yp) and Plastic Viscosity (μp). The relation of (YP/ μp) is used for measuring of levelling for flow. High YP/ μp percentages are responsible for well cuttings transportation through laminar flow. The adequate values of (YP/ μp) are between 0 to 1 for the rheological models which used in drilling. This is what appeared in most of the models that were used in this study. The pressure loss is a gathering of numerous issues for example rheology of mud), flow regime and the well geometry. An artificial neural network (ANN) that used in this effort is an accurate or computational model stimulated by using JMP software. The aim of this study is to find out the effect of rheological models on the hydraulic system and to use the artificial neural network to simulate the parameters that were used as emotional parameters and then find an equation containing the parameters μp, Yp and P Yp/ μp to calculate the pressure losses in a hydraulic system. Data for 7 intermediate casing wells with 12.25\" hole size and 95/8\" intermediate casing size are taken from the southern Iraq field used for the above purpose. Then compare the result with common equations used to calculate pressure losses in a hydraulic system. Also, we calculate the optimum flow by the maximum impact force method and then offset in Equation obtained by (Joint Marketing Program) JMP software. Finally, the equation that was found to calculate pressure losses instead of using common hydraulic equations with long calculations gave very close results with less calculation.\u0000                                                                                ","PeriodicalId":16710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Research and Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86559470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Sa'adi reservoir in the study area is considered as a secondary reservoir. Therefore, a three-dimensional seismic survey, and seven VSPs, in addition, to well tops that drive from a set of well logs are used in this study.\u0000The three-dimensional seismic interpretation and subsurface structure maps of both Tops of Sa'adi and Tanuma formations were performed by Halliburton software (OpenWorks, DecisionSpace Geoscience, and Seismic Analysis). The structure maps of Lower Sa'adi_I and Lower Sa'adi_II have been created based on well tops. A set of well logs (Quad combo) were used to identify the well tops in more than four hundred wells that penetrated the Sa'adi reservoir and distributed over the study area using Geolog software.

The numerical cuttings trajectories simulation has been done to include the effect of cuttings collisions using commercial ANSYS FLUENT 2019 R3 CFD software. The (Eulerian-Eulerian) model was used to verify the cuts transport behavior due to the existence of liquid and solid phases. In this simulation, the mind transport rate is checked by changing the operational parameters which including (drilling mud flow rate and temperature, cuttings size, inclination, drill pipe rotation and eccentricity). The results show that the high degree of agreement was observed between the numerical results with experimental studied by the researcher Yaacob, indicating the CFD analysis system's dependability and capacity to mimic the drilling operation. The use of (Eulerian-Eulerian) model is found reliable in interpreting the phenomena of multiphase flow for understanding the mechanism of influence of parameters associated with the process of drilling oil wells on the lifting capacity. Increasing the flow velocity of the drilling mud transforms the flow pattern from laminar to turbulent, and the latter is one of the desired flow patterns during the flow that enable to increase the lifting capacity of the cuttings. The effect of the rotation speed of the drill pipe on the concentration of cuttings decreases when the flow rate of drilling fluid increases. the cuttings concentration when the flow velocity is 0.6 m/s reaches 48 % when the cuttings size is (0.5-1) mm and it attained to (60,57.52) % when the cuttings size is ((3.5-4) ,(2.25-3),(1.5-2)) mm respectively for the same flow velocity.  The increase in the temperature of the drilling fluid weakened the ability of the drilling fluid to move the cuttings.  At the flow velocity is 1.2 m/s and the drilling angle is 0˚ (vertical well), the cuttings concentration attained to 30 % within the annular space, while the concentration becomes (41, 44, 54, 32) % at the drilling angle (30˚, 45˚, 60˚, 90˚) respectively at the same stated flow velocity.","PeriodicalId":16710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Research and Studies","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74832742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
