In oil and gas and geothermal installations, open channels followed by sieves for removal of
drill cuttings, are used to monitor the quality and quantity of the drilling fluids. Drilling fluid …

Reliable flow measurements of drilling fluid entering and returning from the wellbore can
improve safety of people and assets by avoiding kicks (blowouts) and fluid loss. The return …

In drilling operations related to oil & gas or geothermal applications, the improved
monitoring and control of the flowrate of drilling fluid is important. This will help in reducing …

In drilling operations, non-Newtonian drilling fluid is continuously circulated in a closed loop.
One of the ways to monitor and regulate drilling operations is by accurately measuring the …

Oil and gas operators today are facing a number of significant measurement challenges in
their efforts to optimize production and generate more from their reservoirs, particularly in …

Open channel flow of complex fluids is found in many offshore applications and is currently
monitored using Coriolis meters (good uncertainty with an expensive device) and simple …

Drilling is a costly operation, especially offshore, and disturbances caused by drilling fluid
influxes (kicks or loss) pose persistent challenges and operational costs during drilling …

Surveillance of the rheological properties of drilling fluids is crucial when drilling oil wells.
The prevailing standard is lab analysis. The need for automated real-time measurements is …

In highly deviated or horizontal wells, the performance of existing flow meters for production
logging is severely limited. Oil and water tend to separate and flow at different rates up the …

Accurate estimation of? ow in drilling operations at in? ow and out? ow positions can lead to
increased safety, optimized production and improved cost ef? ciency. In this paper, Dynamic …
