20140131101 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING ENHANCED EQUIVALENT CIRCULATING DENSITY AND INTERVAL SOLIDS CONCENTRATION IN A WELL SYSTEM USING MULTIPLE SENSORS - Multiple sensors on a drill string can be utilized to perform equivalent circulation density (ECD) analysis. By utilizing multiple ones of the sensors, the pressure drop in each section of the wellbore can be classified. Additionally, the inclusion of multiple sensors in the drill string allows a wellbore to be sectioned into intervals bounded by any two sensors. Pressure events occurring in a single section of the wellbore bounded by any two sensors can be isolated and analyzed. The isolation can be achieved by subtracting the pressure measured on the shallower sensor from that measured on the deeper sensor. | 05-15-2014 |
20140131104 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING HIGH DENSITY SWEEP ANALYSIS USING MULTIPLE SENSORS - Multiple sensors in a wellbore can be utilized in a high density sweep analysis. In particular, annular pressures, recorded by the multiple sensors as the sweep is circulated, can be utilized to analyze the performance of a high density sweep. The high density sweep analysis can be used to create a prediction of the impact of circulating a high density sweep. The high density sweep analysis can calculate the position of the high density sweep in the well during the circulation by utilizing the multiple sensors and derive information about the presence of solids in the well, their likely location and whether or not the wellbore is clean prior to tripping out of the well. | 05-15-2014 |
