Abstract:Summary
Accurate estimation and prediction of gas rise velocity, length of the gas influx region, and void fraction are important for optimal gas kick removal, riser gas management, and well control planning. These parameters are also essential in monitoring and characterization of multiphase flow. However, gas dynamics in non-Newtonian fluids, such as drilling mud, which is essential for gas influx control, are poorly understood due to the inability to create full-scale annular flow conditions … Show more
