String Out And Compressibility Effect On Pressure Rise In A Shut-In Well, Nicholas Henry
String Out And Compressibility Effect On Pressure Rise In A Shut-In Well, Nicholas Henry
LSU Master's Theses
Gas kick migration experiments were performed in a small-scale well prototype model of annular geometry to analyze the behavior of gas kicks in highly non-Newtonian fluids. The objective was to isolate and estimate the effects system compressibility and bubble string out have on the pressure build up in a situation in which a gas kick rises through a noncirculating drilling mud in a vertical well.
The experiments consisted of 2 tests. The first test measured the apparent compressibility of the liquid phase of the experiment – that phase which simulated the drilling mud in a gas kick situation. The second …
