Anti-Collision Planning Optimization In Directional Wells, Abdulrahman Mohamed
Anti-Collision Planning Optimization In Directional Wells, Abdulrahman Mohamed
Petroleum Engineering and Gas
One of the most application of the directional drilling is drilling multiple wells from one location or platform. In drilling multiple wells from one location the major problem that faced is avoiding the collision with the offset wells that drilled near the proposed well in the same region. Therefore, the potential of collison between the wells can cause severe catastrophic accidents such as an explosion or oil spill. Several measurements of proximity calculation or methods have been adopted to control the distance between the wells, avoid the collison, increasing the clearance along with smoothing the trajectory, Reducing the drilling time …
New Correlation For Calculating Acentric Factor Of Petroleum 2 Fractions, Samir Khaled
New Correlation For Calculating Acentric Factor Of Petroleum 2 Fractions, Samir Khaled
Petroleum Engineering and Gas
A proper description of the physical properties of the petroleum fractions in hydrocarbon mixtures is 12 essential in performing reliable phase behavior calculations and compositional modeling studies. This 13 paper presents a comparison study among five different correlations used to calculate the acentric 14 factor of undefined petroleum fractions. A new correlation was developed for calculating the acentric 15 factor of undefined petroleum fractions, a function of no carbon atoms with an average error of 0.099 16 and a correlation coefficient of 0.998.
