Title: How Does Rigid Centralizer Help?
1How Does Rigid Centralizer Help?
2Point - 1
In areas where hole-enlargement is required,
those areas are already flowed with both drilling
fluid and cement as it is predominantly on the
higher side of the well. It is in between the
pipe and the top wall of the well.
3Point - 2
Drill cuttings can also accumulate around the
pipe near the caverns. During casing-running
process, the cement may not flow completely
around the pipe in these cavernous sections. But
the study refers that the cavern formation
features in inclined wells can give a key to
further prediction of technology for their
washing and casing cementation.
4Point - 3
While in inclined well, the drilling tools are
non-concentrically aligned in the borehole. The
axis of the drill string appears below the axis
of the borehole. Thus, in inclined wells changes
the flow hydrodynamics in the ring space. This
change is amplified which leads to the drilled
cuttings move up the well along the bottom wall
of the hole.
5Point - 4
The cavern expansion occurs in the direction from
the bottom wall to the top wall in an inclined
hole. Anisotropy formation is exposed by an
inclined well at an angle to its bedding promotes
this tendency.
6Point - 5
At the time of hole cleaning in extended cavern
sections, one can face problems though. The
drilling fluid should have high rheological
properties to ensure adequate removal of cuttings
in formations susceptible to cavern formation.
For many cases, it is even necessary to plug or
bridge the caverns to reduce the area of the hole.
7Point - 6
The washing of an inclined well plays an
important role both during drilling and in
preparing the well, thus it is important for
using rigid centralizer for running and cementing
casing. The arch-type caverns cause difficulty in
transporting drill cuttings along the bottom wall
of an inclined well.
