Abstract During oil and gas fields development, a decrease in reservoir and bottomhole pressure has often a detrimental effect on reservoir properties, especially permeability. This study presents the results of laboratory tests conducted to determine the response of terrigenous reservoir core-sample permeability to changes in the effective stresses and a decrease in the reservoir pressure. The considered samples were exposed for a long time to a constant high effective stress for a more reliable assessment of the viscoplastic deformations. According to these experiments, the decrease of the core samples permeability may reach 21% with a decrease More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The paper proposes a simulated 3D Finite Element Model (FEM) for drilling of Nickel based super alloy known as Nimonic C-263. The Lagrangian finite element model-based simulations were performed to determine the thrust force, temperature generation, effective stress, and effective strain. The simulations were performed according to the L27 orthogonal array. A perfect plastic work piece was assumed, and the shape is considered to be cylindrical. The spindle speed, feed rate, and point angle were considered as the input parameters. The work piece was modeled by Johnson–Cook (JC) material model and tungsten carbide (WC) was More >
