  • Deep Borehole Placement of Radioactive Wastes a Feasibility Study
    DEEP BOREHOLE PLACEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES A FEASIBILITY STUDY Bernt S. Aadnøy & Maurice B. Dusseault Executive Summary Deep Borehole Placement (DBP) of modest amounts of high-level radioactive wastes from a research reactor is a viable option for Norway. The proposed approach is an array of large- diameter (600-750 mm) boreholes drilled at a slight inclination, 10° from vertical and outward from a central surface working site, to space 400-600 mm diameter waste canisters far apart to avoid any interactions such as significant thermal impacts on the rock mass. We believe a depth of 1 km, with waste canisters limited to the bottom 200-300 m, will provide adequate security and isolation indefinitely, provided the site is fully qualified and meets a set of geological and social criteria that will be more clearly defined during planning. The DBP design is flexible and modular: holes can be deeper, more or less widely spaced, at lesser inclinations, and so on. This modularity and flexibility allow the principles of Adaptive Management to be used throughout the site selection, development, and isolation process to achieve the desired goals. A DBP repository will be in a highly competent, low-porosity and low-permeability rock mass such as a granitoid body (crystalline rock), a dense non-reactive shale (chloritic or illitic), or a tight sandstone. The rock matrix should be close to impermeable, and the natural fractures and bedding planes tight and widely spaced. For boreholes, we recommend avoiding any substance of questionable long-term geochemical stability; hence, we recommend that surface casings (to 200 m) be reinforced polymer rather than steel, and that the casing is sustained in the rock mass with an agent other than standard cement.

  • DRILLING and TESTING GEOTHERMAL WELLS a Presentation for the World Bank July 2012 Geothermal Training Event  Geothermal Resource Group, Inc
    DRILLING AND TESTING GEOTHERMAL WELLS A Presentation for The World Bank July 2012 Geothermal Training Event Geothermal Resource Group, Inc. was founded in 1992 to provide drilling engineering and supervision services to geothermal energy operators worldwide. Since it’s inception, GRG has grown to include a variety of upstream geothermal services, from exploration management to resource assessment, and from drilling project management to reservoir engineering. GRG’s permanent and contract supervisory staff is among the most active consulting firms, providing services to nearly every major geothermal operation worldwide. Services and Expertise: Drilling Engineering Drilling Supervision Exploration Geosciences Reservoir Engineering Resource Assessment Project Management Upstream Production Engineering Training Worldwide Experience: United States, Canada, and Mexico Latin America – Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Chile Southeast Asia – Philippines and Indonesia New Zealand Kenya Tu r key Caribbean EXPLORATION PROCESS The exploration process is the initial phase of the project, where the resource is identified, qualified, and delineated. It is the longest phase of the project, taking years or even decades, and it is invariably the most poorly funded. EXPLORATION PROCESS Begins with identification of a potential resource Visible System – identified by surface manifestations, either active or inactive Blind System – identified by the structural setting, geophysical explorations, or by other indicators such as water and mining exploration drilling. EXPLORATION PROCESS Primary personnel Geoscientists Geologists – structural mapping, field reconnaissance, conceptual geological models Geochemists – geothermometry, water & gas chemistry Geophysicists – geophysical exploration, structural modeling Engineers Drilling Engineers – well design, rock mechanics, economic oversight Reservoir Engineers – reservoir modeling, well testing, economic evaluation, power phase determination EXPLORATION METHODS Pre-exploration research.

  • Model Petroleum Engineering Curriculum
    The SPE Model Petroleum Engineering Curriculum – What it is and what it isn’t The model petroleum engineering curriculum is intended as an aid to universities worldwide that want to start new petroleum engineering programs. It is not intended to be a “standard” curriculum, in that no petroleum engineering curriculum would have all of the course listed here. Any petroleum engineering curriculum should educate students in fundamental mathematics and science, humanities and liberal arts, engineering science, and the foundational course in petroleum engineering. Most curricula will include some more specialized petroleum engineering courses, like those listed in the model curriculum as petroleum engineering electives. No Bachelor’s of Science level degree program could include all of the courses shown in the elective list. The SPE model curriculum includes all of the educational areas needed to create a specific petroleum engineering curriculum. Every petroleum engineering curriculum in the world is unique, none are exactly the same. Many countries or regions have course requirements that do not appear anywhere else in the world. In the United States, there are significant variations in curricula, with some programs having emphases on particular areas of petroleum engineering that are different from other programs. This model curriculum can be used to construct a unique degree program for new programs, with the particular courses included based on the particular needs of that university, or that country.

  • Drilling Engineering Laboratory Manual
    KING FAHD UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM & MINERALS Department of Petroleum Engineering PETE 203: DRILLING ENGINEERING LABORATORY MANUAL APRIL 2003 PREFACE The purpose of this manual is two fold: first to acquaint the Drilling Engineering students with the basic techniques of formulating, testing and analyzing the properties of drilling fluid and oil well cement, and second, to familiarize him with practical drilling and well control operations by means of a simulator. To achieve this objective, the manual is divided into two parts. The first part consists of seven experiments for measuring the physical properties of drilling fluid such as mud weight (density), rheology (viscosity, gel strength, yield point) sand content, wall building and filtration characteristics. There are also experiment for studying the effects of, and treatment techniques for, common contaminants on drilling fluid characteristics. Additionally, there are experiments for studying physical properties of Portland cement such as free water separation, normal and minimum water content and thickening time. In the second part, there are five laboratory sessions that involve simulated drilling and well control exercises. They involve the use of the DS-100 Derrick Floor Simulator, a full replica of an actual drilling rig with fully operations controls, which allow the student to become completely absorbed in the exercises as he would in an actual drilling operation. The simulator has realistic drilling rig responses that are synchronized to specific events, like rate of penetration, rotary table motion, and actual rig sounds such as accumulator recharge, break drawworks, etc. It is hoped that the material in this manual will effectively supplement the theory aspect presented in the main course.

  • Continuous Real-Time Measurement of Drilling Trajectory with New State

These characteristics can notably increase drilling efficiency However, as drilling technology improves, continuous mea- and safety.

It is also essential in a rotary-steerable system (RSS). We developed a strap-down measurement system, with a triaxial An RSS [5]–[7] is a mechatronics tool developed for direc- accelerometer and triaxial magnetometers installed near the bit. tional drilling.

Although the magnetic system is the norm, we can use this system to achieve continuous measurement technology has achieved notable progress in reliability and while drilling; to achieve this, a novel state-space model is has become a standard drilling tool in many worldwide proposed here and the Kalman filter is used to estimate the applications. The application of RSS is restricted to high-cost states.
