Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Particle Removal from Sand Bed Deposits in Horizontal Wells Using Turbulent Flow of Water and Polymer Fluids
DownloadFall 2017
Turbulent flow of water and polymer fluids over the sand bed deposits in horizontal annuli was studied using a large-scale flow loop equipped with particle image velocimetry (PIV) tool. Tests have been conducted to investigate the effects of near wall turbulence, fluid rheological characteristics...

Impact of Suspended Cuttings on Drilling Fluid Rheology and Hole Cleaning Capacity in Horizontal Directional Drilling
DownloadFall 2020
Trenchless technologies are a family of techniques to install or rehabilitate conduits under the ground without conventional open excavation processes. Among them, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is one of the most popular methods for installation of pipelines under surface obstacles, due...
