Overview
Overview
Hydraulic Analysis for Remedial Tools (HART) is a proprietary computer

program developed by SMITH. It is designed to assist in making decisions
related to modeling and optimizing the hydraulic performance of the
bottomhole assembly (BHA) for a specific application and environment. It is
important to remember that HART is not intended to be a substitute for sound
judgment and experience.
HART has proven itself a valuable tool for BHA hydraulic performance
analysis. The programs user interface allows the user to edit and test
operating parameters. The user enters surface equipment data, survey data,
BHA makeup, the application parameters under which the BHA will be used,
and hydraulic requirements of specialty tools in the BHA to calculate a valid
hydraulic profile. The program calculates a hydraulic profile of:
Bore and annular pressure losses

Jet hydraulic details
Flow distributions
Fluid velocities
Flow rates
Program output includes summary and detailed reports of flows and pressures
through the system, a casing scheme plot, and graphical plots. The program
provides calculations for:
2010 Schlumberger
Rotary steerable systems

Mud motors
Measurement while drilling (MWD) tools
Underreamers
Hole openers
Tapered drill strings
Mulitple casings
Liner strings
HART Users Manual

Page 4
HART provides calculations for hydraulics, cuttings transport, mud

properties, and operating parameters. Calculated values include:
Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) at working depth

Minimum cuttings transport ratio
Pressure differentials over jets and pistons
Jet impact force
Jet hydraulic power
The program calculates hydraulics at beginning and ending depths, and has
different friction pressure calculations for both the bore and annulus.

Working in the Tabs
General Guidelines
The following guidelines pertain to the Input Data tabs.
Field Backgrounds
Press Tab instead of Enter when moving from field to field in the tabs.
Pressing Enter will execute the Calcuate button at the bottom of the
screen, which will create the reports and graphs. Press Shift + Tab to
move to the previous field.
Override data in a field by tabbing into the field or double-clicking in
the field and typing in the new data.
A data field of floating point numbers accepts only numbers and the
letter e or E. A beep will indicate any errors.
Emply fields and fields containing 0 are considered different in
HART. An empty field indicates that data has not been entered, and a
0 suggests that the value has been entered and may or may not be in
a valid data range.
A field with a yellow background indicates that data must be entered before
the hydraulics calculations can be performed. If a yellow background field is
empty and the Calculate button is selected, the program displays an error
message and indicates the field that needs to be filled in.
It is not necessary to fill in all the fields with a white background. An error
message will not appear if left blank.
Data Validations
HART checks data validations in the following three cases:
Error Messages
After entering data in a field and leaving the field.

After entering data in a screen then moving to another screen.
After selecting the Calculate button.
There are two types of error messages that will appear in HART.
The first is a warning sign,
. This indicates that the data entered is not
reasonable in the context of other data fields. Ignore the warning by selecting
OK. Return to the data field that caused the error by selecting Cancel.
The second is an error sign,
. This indicates that the data entered is
incorrect and must be reentered. It also signals a data field has been left blank.
Press OK to return to the data field that caused the error.

HART Users Manual

Page 10
Survey Data Tab
Introduction
2010 Schlumberger
Information and well survey data is entered in this tab.
HART Users Manual

Page 11
Well Deviation
Select Vertical hole if you

are analyzing a vertical well
or you dont have survey data
available to enter.
Select Deviated hole with
survey data if you are
analyzing a deviated well and
survey data is available or
you want to create a well path
from well path projections. It
is possible to enter survey
data four different ways:
Manually
Import Survey from
a text file. An
example of an import
file is located in the
program installation directory as impsvy.txt. A survey import file
should follow the format as shown in the Survey table. The data can be
delimited by using a comma, tab, space or semi-colon. If a line begins
with a semi-colon, the line will be treated as a comment line and ignored.
Azimuth should be entered as the angle between toolface and true north in
the range between 0-360.
Paste from Clipboard. If you copy survey data from a spreadsheet
program into a clipboard then past the survey data into the grid. Before
selecting Paste from Clipboard, make sure the active cell on the survey
grid is at the first row and first column.
Build Survey. Select this if you are using well planning information such
as kick off point (KOP), total vertical depth (TVD), dog leg severity
(DLS), etc. to create the well survey.
If a well is deviated, treating it as a vertical hole will not affect the standpipe
pressure calculations if there are no jets in the middle of the drill string. However,
the calculated ECD and pressure at a given point will not be correct without
survey data.
If there are tools in the middle of the drill string that divert flow into the annulus,
such as a jet sub or an XTU, survey data MUST be entered to ensure the accuracy
of all hydraulics calculations.
2010 Schlumberger
HART Users Manual

Page 12
Build Survey

Data Information This section acts as a spreadsheet for data input. After selecting the casing OD
from the first column, HART will automatically provide a drop down menu for
the Weight w/Cplg (lb/ft) column.
Casings with a special drift ID will have the suffix SD after the casing weight.
After selecting the casing weight, HART will automatically populate the
remaining parameters with data from the equipment database.
The Top MD (ft) field automatically defaults to 0.0. If you are working with a
liner, you can override the value with the actual value of the top of the liner.
Enter the casing setting MD in the last column.
Open Hole
Open hole applications are identified by selecting Open Hole from the pull-down
menu in the first line of the Casing OD (in) column. Enter the hole diameter in
the Nominal ID (in) column and the open hole depth in the Bottom MD (ft)
column.
HART will automatically populate the Top MD (ft) column with the casing shoe
location of the previous casing entry.
You can enter the Casing OD (in) or Weight w/Cplg (lb/ft) directly into the cell
instead of selecting from the drop-down menu. If the values you enter match the
casing OD and weight in the equipment database, the program automatically
populates other casing data as soon as you leave the casing weight field.
Downhole
Information
This section has fields for entering beginning and ending measured depth. The
value for the Job Beginning MD defaults to the casing shoe location of the last
casing. The Job Ending MD defaults to the open hole bottom location.

Depth In & Out

Parameters
This section provides fields for the beginning and ending depth of the
parameters. The availability of the fields is dependant on the selections
made in the Rhino Reamer Specific section.
When the Drill-out above casing shoe (cutters pinned closed) option is
selected under Rhino Reamer Specific, the beginning depth information is
all that is necessary to fill out. When Drill-ahead below casing shoe (cutters
opened) is selected both the beginning and ending depth need to be
calculated.
Jet Sizes
HART will automatically calculate the feeding volume of cuttings into the
annulaus aand the cutting concentration of removal when the beginning rate
of penetration is entered. HART will also adjust the mud density in the
annulus from the cutting concentration, which modifies the annular
hydrostatic pressures. Current models for cutting transport calculations in
HART are based on vertical holes and my not be accurate for highly
deviated wells.
The availability of the fields is dependant on the selections made in the
Rhino Reamer Specific section. When the Drill-out above casing shoe
(cutters pinned closed) option is selected, the only option available is Enter
jet sizes where applicable.
When Drill-ahead below casing shoe (cutters opened) is selected, all three
options under Jet Sizes are available.
Selecting Enter jet sizes where applicable makes the total flow area (TFA)
column available and any tools identified in the Drill String tab will be
highlighted in blue on the left. Enter data in the required fields.
Selecting Enter desired flow percentage split makes the last two rows of the
Flow Percent column available and any tools identified in the Drill String
tab will be highlighted in blue on the left. Enter data in the required fields.
Selecting Enter desired flow rate split makes the last two rows of the Flow

Job Process
Introduction
There are several ways to gather and enter data into HART. The information
contained in this chapter is just one way to complete a hydraulic analysis. It is
recommended that you follow this process intially, but adjust it to fit your own
style later.
The Process
The hydraulic analysis process is as follows:
2010 Schlumberger
Gather data.
Enter data into HART.
Analyze Summary Report.
Revise data to optimize performance for the customer and protect
Schlumbergers assets.
Make a recommendation to the customer.
HART Users Manual

Gather Data
Introduction
The first step in preparing for an actual job or job proposal is to gather as much
information as possible regarding the expectations of the customer.
Determining the drilling parameters prior to the start of a job will help with the
correct selection of tools. Obtain the parameters by viewing exiting well
information and nearby offset records.
The district or office supervisory personnel often complte the pre-job planning
functions. While the operators may not be involved with the early planning
stages, it is essential that personnel who are authorized to collect job data
understand the factors involved in order to provide better customer support.
Obtain Information
The following list are suggested places to consult for gathering well
information:
Customer specifications and objectives

Consult co-workers
Ask your supervisor
Review past job files
Once you have collected as much information as possible about the job, it is
necessary to review the information and make sure Schlumberger and
Schlumberger tools are right for the job. You may want to create multiple
solutions for a wellbore to present to the customer indicating where 3rd parties
would be needed to complete the job.
Job Data Sheet
There are several items that need to be collected and the most efficient way to
get the necessary information is with a job data sheet. The following page
shows a general job data sheet. In addition make sure to ask about:
2010 Schlumberger
Verify underreaming
interval depth
Anticipate mud properties

Rhino Reamer Job
Planning for a successful Rhino Reamer job requires accurate knowledge of

the hydraulic requirements of the tools above and below the reamer. A prejob hydraulic and BHA analysis should be reviewed and agreed upon by
Schlumberger, the customer and other relevant service companies.
The following data is needed to complete a HART hydraulic analysis as
well as a Stress BHA analysis to ensure proper operation of the Rhino
Reamer:
Well schematic, incaluding all casing sizes and depths

Expected drill ahead flow rate
Mud information
Proposed BHA, including bit total flow area (TFA), OD/ID, and
component lengths
The distance between each stabilizing point in the BHA
Pressure drop across rotary steerable tool and/or MWD/LWD must
be given at a specific pump rate and mud weight.
Well path proposal
Geological information of section to be enlarged
Surface limitations such as maximum standpipe pressure and
maximum pump rate

Analyze Reports
Introduction
HART can calculate the values and generate reports and graphs after
completing all the necessary tab fields for a job file. Select Calculate at the
bottom of any tab screen to implement the process. The tabs for the various
reports and graphs are at the bottom of the Summary Report.
Report Options
There are several reports to view in

HART. The only report that appears on
the list to the right, but is not available is
the BHA Plot.
The Bypass Valve Behavior Plot only
applies to Window Milling job types
(selected on the General tab) and only
when a bypass valve is installed.
Summary Report
The Summary Report presents a summation of general and specified

information, and calculated data. An example Summary Report is on the next
two pages.
Limitations are present in every hydraulics scenario. There are rig limitations,
BHA component limitations, specific customer limitations and operator
limitations.
In the Summary Report, identify the parameters that exceed controllable
limitations. You may want to initially identify the limitations that cannot be
eliminated or worked around, then change something else that can. HART
provides an efficient way of manipulating variable, with some limitations.

Revise Data for BHA Components
Introduction
Planning any operations requires much consideration. In an underreaming

operation the hydraulics is critical to success; it is necessary to consider the
impact the underreamer and other downhole tools will have on the hydraulics.
Analysis of the reports and revision will make the recommendation to the
customer more through and ensure the goals and objectives will be achieved.
Specific
Limitations
Many wells are drilled under pressure limitations imposed by the drilling rig
and associated equipment. The pressure ratings of the pump liners and surface
equipment and the number of mud pumps available limit the circulating
system to a maximum allowable circulating pressure.
The maximum allowable circulating pressure and circulating rate are limited
assets that can be wasted or maximized. Rheology and hydraulics calculations
provide the means for adjusting the mud's properties, the flow rate and the bit
nozzles to optimize these assets under the constraints imposed by the rig
equipment.
Under any set of hole conditions, a theoretical limit is imposed on the flow rate
by the maximum allowable circulating pressure. Circulating pressures, and
consequently the flow rate, are directly related to the wellbore and tubular
geometry used, including special BHA equipment such as underreamers, as
well as the fluids density and rheological properties. It is therefore imperative
to optimize drilling fluid hydraulics by controlling the rheological properties of
the drilling fluid to avoid reaching this theoretical limit.
Once the rheological properties for a fluid have been determined and modeled
to predict flow behavior, hydraulics calculations are made to determine what
effect this particular fluid will have on system pressures. The critical pressures
are total system pressure (pump pressure), pressure loss across the bit and
annular pressure loss (converted to ECD).

Revise Data for Rhino Reamers
Rhino Reamer Jobs The Rhino uses a lock-out mechanism to keep the tool closed while drilling
into the shoe track. Regardless of which lock-out type is used, a drill ahead
analysis has to be established. Run a HART calculation WITHOUT the lockout first. Performing a pre-calculation sets the upper and lower benchmark.
However, avoid going for an average mark for operational limits.
Ball Drop Lock-out Mechanisms
A flow shear has a limit of pressure it can tolerate before the tool opens. Take
into consideration the rig, application, etc., when establishing a maximum flow
for the shear tool.
Order of Analysis
A ball shear is used when the maximum flow rate for a drill out is required.
Since all RhinoXS nozzles are closed at this point and all the flow is directed
to the bit, it will affect all BHA components. It acts as a blockage to pressure
up against the shear tool. Values change from the standpipe pressure down to
the bit pressure, but keep this in mind: Do not exceed previously established
limitations.
A full bore is used when BHA components used in the well do not allow a ball
drop.
For Rhinos the typical order of analysis is:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Achieve Optimal
Pressure Drop
Follow these procedures for achieving an optimal pressure drop if one does not
already exist:
1. Select Data
2. Adjust the nozzles in the reamer or the bit.
a. Increase pressure by reducing the nozzle size TFA.
b. Reduce pressure by increasing the nozzle size TFA.
The recommended psi for all Rhinos is 800. There is no maximum; however,
at 1500psi a system trip occurs. At 3000 psi the Rhino will reach test
specifications for shutdown.
Find Limitations
Check to make sure the following parameters are with the specifications:
Velocity through the Rhinobelow 75 ft per second

Flow distributionrefer to the Rhino specifications on fluid per nozzle
Velocity through the reamer jetsrange allowances for mud weight %
of solids content planned hours of run and acceptable allowance for a
higher velocity
Check all BHA limitations:
Every BHA component has a limitation and unique characteristic that

can affect your pressure drop. Contact the vendor to obtain correct
information (formula) for the specific equipment. Some vendors have
pressure drop calculations for a particular component.
Each BHA component has a calculated loss. Compare the calculated loss
values to the vendor documentation. If the losses are not in line with each
other it will be necessary to revise the calculated loss to achieve alignment.
Make sure to check the following for their limitations as well:

Mechanism
Limitations
Follow the procedures below to analyze and make revisions for the identified
lock-out mechanisms:
Flow Shearused to shear open the tool at a given flow rate.
1. Check the flow rate limitations on the flow shear.
2. Establish the maximum flow to shear the tool based on all other
limitations (for example, rig limitations and other tools).
3. Identify the number of pins that are needed for the lock out mechanism
to be sheared to activate the tool (based on limitations).
4. Determine the flow rate needed to shear by entering a specific number
of pins then calculating the flow rate. (The flow shear has to stay under
the limitations of flow rate and pressure).
5. Optimize nozzle size against the number of pins. The larger the nozzle,
the fewer pins are needed and the smaller the nozzle, the more pins are
needed.
Ball Shearused when maximum flow rate for drill out is required. Rhino
nozzles are closed at this point so all flow is directed to the bit. Double check
the how the flow will affect BHA components.
1. Check the effect on BHA components, making sure not to exceed any
previously established limits.
2. Check standpipe pressure relative to any limitations.
3. Check flow rate against any limitations.
Full-boreused when a BHA component will not allow a ball drop.

1. Determine the required shear value by performing one of the following
analyses: H4 or HB4.
2. If Drill-out above casing shoe (cutters pinned closed) was selected in
the Operating Parameters tab in HART, perform the following
analysis:
a. H2 or HB2: Determine the maximum flow rate with the Rhino
cutters pinned closed (Rhino tfa=.001) based on the rig and
BHA limitations.
b. H3or BH3: Perform an analysis of the subsequent drill ahead of
the wellbore below the casing shoe.
3. If Drill-out below casing shoe (cutters open) was selected, perform
the following analysis:
a. H1 or HB1: Perform an analysis of the subsequent drill ahead
of the wellbore below the casing shoe.

Make a Recommendation
Introduction
Making a recommendation to the customer should only be done after

confirming that the choices for the well program are optimal.
Proposal
The proposal presented to the customer should contain at the minimum the
Summary Report. Create a PDF of each report before emailing (if that is how
the report will be submitted). In the event that a Rhino is used in the BHA,
provide the customer with a Summary Report showing both:
Drill Out with Rhino Reamer Cutters Closed

Drill Ahead with Rhino Reamer Cutters Open
These can be changed in the Operating Parameters tab, at the top of the
screen.
Include in the proposal a summary or highlight of how the proposal matches
the customers expectations, well specifications and drilling parameters.
Identify the customer or third party equipment used that affects the outcome on
the Summary Report. The customer should know that the report was
analyzed for optimal performance and not just entered.

Creating a PDF of
a Report
Create a PDF of a report using the following steps:

1. From the report you would like to convert, select File
Print,
, or Ctrl + P.
2. A print screen will appear. Under Printer Name, select Adobe
PDF. If you do not have Adobe PDF as an option, you will need to
contact IT. Select OK at the bottom of the window.
3. Select a place to save the PDF file. It may be a good idea to create a
folder for all of the PDF files created from HART to be in the same
folder and additional folders are created inside for each job.
The PDF will be created and open on your desktop. You can print from this
file format to an actual printer.

Exercise: Develop a Job Aid
In groups, create a job aid that would be helpful for someone using HART for the first time. Imagine
what information would be most helpful and develop a mock up in any type of medium. You will
present these to the class when you are done.

Hydraulic Definitions
Oilfield Hydraulics
Drilling or Bit Hydraulics

Hydraulic and mechanical energy are needed for efficient rock cutting and
removal when drilling. The hydraulic energy is provided by the drilling fluid or
mud being pumped down the ID of the drill string. The mechanical energy is
supplied by the speed or RPM at which the string turns and the amount of
weight applied to the bit. The Weight on Bit (WOB) controls the chip size and
quantity of the cuttings at bottom. The RPM controls the fracture rate or Rate of
Penetration (ROP).
Cuttings Removal
The removal of cuttings is both mechanical and hydraulic; the mechanics of the
teeth of the bit and the hydraulics of the orifice to lift the cuttings away from
the bit and up the annulus. In order to increase the hydraulic energy necessary
at the bit, the correct orifice must be selected.
Once the orifice is selected, other factors which will affect cutting removal are
considered:
Particle slip velocity

Mud properties (density, viscosity)
Circulation rate (annular velocity)
WOB
Drill string rotation (RPM)
Pump pressure
Formation type
Underreamers are one part of a complex hydraulic operation. Understanding all

the factors involved will allow drilling to proceed with confidence, as we will
receive optimum performance from the mechanical and hydraulic energy
available.

Basic Hydraulics
Bernoullis Theorem
Bernoullis Theorem is a theory or equation discovered by Daniel Bernoulli, an
early scientist in the field of hydraulics. Bernoulli stated:
When a fluid is flowing under high pressure, it has a slow
velocity or slow traveling time. Once restricted down to a
smaller diameter, the pressure is less and velocity is increased
or the fluid travels much faster.
In simpler terms, when the speed or velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure
decreases and vice versa. The resulting change in pressure is what makes most
Schlumbergers tools, including underreamers, operate.
2010 Schlumberger
Pressure Drop
As fluid is accelerated due to a severe restriction, such as a jet nozzle, a
pressure drop is created beyond the restriction.
Pressure Loss
Pressure lost is the pressure lost in a pipeline or annulus due to the velocity of
the liquid in the pipeline, the properties of the fluid, the condition of the pipe
wall and the alignment of the pipe. In certain mud-mixing systems, the loss of
head can be substantial.
Fluid Velocity
Velocity is the time rate of motion in a given direction and sense. It is a
measure of the fluid flow and may be expressed in terms of linear velocity,
mass velocity, volumetric velocity, etc. Velocity is one of the factors which
contribute to the carrying capacity of a drilling fluid.
Opening Force
The difference in pressure above and below a piston causes the piston to move.
The piston will always move in a direction of higher pressure to lower pressure
because the piston has a surface area acted upon by pressure which results in a
force.
Hydraulic Horsepower
Hydraulic horsepower is a designation for a type of very high-pressure plunger
pump used in downhole operations such as cementing, hydrofracturing, and
acidizing.

Other Geologic and

Well Factors
Optimum Flow Rate

The major goal of hydraulics optimization is to balance well control, hole
cleaning, pump pressure, Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) and pressure
drop across the bit. The fluid's density and rheological properties are the
parameters that affect this hydraulic efficiency. If it is assumed that fluid
density is maintained at a minimal safe level for well control and wellbore
stability, hydraulics optimization is then dependent on the fluid's rheological
properties and the flow rate. In many cases, downhole equipment such as
downhole motors, thrusters, and measurement-while-drilling (MWD) and
logging-while-drilling (LWD) instrumentation has a minimum flow rate
requirement to properly function. This leaves fluid rheological properties as the
only variable in the optimization process.
Maximum Allowable Circulating Pressure
Many wells are drilled under pressure limitations imposed by the drilling rig
and associated equipment. The pressure ratings of the pump liners and surface
equipment and the number of mud pumps available limit the circulating system
to a maximum allowable circulating pressure.
The maximum allowable circulating pressure and circulating rate are limited
assets that can be wasted or maximized. Rheology (the science of the
deformation and flow of matter) and hydraulics calculations provide the means
for adjusting the mud's properties, the flow rate and the bit nozzles to optimize
these assets under the constraints imposed by the rig equipment. At
Schlumberger, these calculations are performed using the HART program and
data provided on the Job Data Sheet.
As wells are drilled deeper and casing is set, the flow rate will be decreased in
the smaller diameter holes. The circulating pressures will increase because of
the increased length of the drill string and annulus as well as the possibly
smaller-diameter drill string. The mud pump liners will be changed to have
smaller diameters and higher pressure ratings. This will increase the maximum
allowable circulating pressure.
Under any set of hole conditions, a theoretical limit is imposed on the flow rate
by the maximum allowable circulating pressure. Circulating pressures, and
consequently the flow rate, are directly related to the wellbore and tubular
geometry used, including special Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) equipment
such as underreamers, as well as the fluids density and rheological properties.
It is therefore imperative to optimize drilling fluid hydraulics by controlling the
rheological properties of the drilling fluid to avoid reaching this theoretical
limit. This is especially true in extended-reach drilling.
Once the rheological properties for a fluid have been determined and modeled
to predict flow behavior, hydraulics calculations are made to determine what
effect this particular fluid will have on system pressures. The critical pressures
are total system pressure (pump pressure), pressure loss across the bit and
annular pressure loss (converted to ECD).
2010 Schlumberger
HART Users Manual

Chapter 4 Appendix
Page 15
Total Annular Circulating Pressure Loss

The total annular pressure loss is the sum of all of the annular interval pressure
losses. Annular intervals are divided by each change in hydraulic diameter. A
change in drill string outside diameter and/or a change in casing, liner or open
hole inside diameter would result in a hydraulic diameter change. As with drill
string pressure loss equations, the friction factor must first be determined before
calculating the pressure loss for each annular section.
Equivalent Circulating Density ECD
The pressure on a formation while circulating is equal to the total annular
circulating pressure losses from the point of interest to the bell nipple, plus the
hydrostatic pressure of the mud. This force is expressed as the density of mud
that would exert a hydrostatic pressure equivalent to this pressure. This
equivalent mud weight is called the Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD).
Excessive ECD may cause losses by exceeding fracture gradient on a well. It is

important to optimize rheological properties to avoid excessive ECD.
2010 Schlumberger
Fracture Gradient
The factor used to determine formation fracturing pressure as a function of well
depth in units of psi/ft. For example, a fracture gradient of 0.7 psi/ft [0.15
kPa/m] in a well with a true vertical depth of 8000 ft [2440 m] would predict a
fracturing pressure of 5600 psi [38.6 MPa].

Chapter 4 Appendix

Turbulent Flow
All fluid flow is classified into one of two broad categories or regimes, laminar
flow (also referred to as streamline or viscous flow) and turbulent flow. The
flow regime is important in the design and operation of any fluid system. The
amount of fluid friction, which determines the amount of energy required to
maintain the desired flow, depends upon the mode of flow.
Turbulent flow is characterized by swirling or chaotic motion as the fluid

moves along the hole. This characteristic makes turbulent flow more efficient
for hole cleaning and for the removal of formation cuttings. However, the
potential for erosion may be significant, especially with abrasive fluids and a
tortuous flow path. Managing turbulent flow is therefore a balancing act: the
operator needs to be aware of the characteristics of the flow, and how it is
impacting both the formation and the efficiency of the underreamer.
While drilling, the drill string is almost always in turbulent flow, and the
resulting increases in pressure loss can limit the flow rate. The pressure losses
associated with turbulent flow in the annulus can be critical when the
Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) approaches the fracture gradient. As
mentioned above, turbulent flow in the annulus is associated with hole erosion
and washouts in many formations. In susceptible zones, the hole will erode to a
diameter where the flow reverts to laminar. When drilling these zones, the flow
rate and the muds rheological properties should be controlled to prevent
turbulent flow.
The pressure required to pump a fluid in turbulent flow is significantly higher
than the pressure required to pump the same fluid in laminar flow. Once the
flow is turbulent, increases in the flow rate increase the circulating pressure
geometrically. In turbulent flow, doubling the flow rate will increase the
pressure by a factor of four. Increasing the flow rate three times will increase
the pressure loss eight times.

Surge and Swab Pressures

During tripping, pipe run into the wellbore too fast may generate large surge
pressures inside the hole which can lead to lost circulation and formation
fracture. On the other hand, when pipe is pulled out too fast, it may generate
large swab (negative surge) pressures that can lead to kicks and blowouts.
When the drill string is picked up to make a connection or trip out of the well,
the mud in the annulus must fall to replace the volume of pipe pulled from the
well. The hydrostatic pressure is momentarily reduced while the mud is falling
in the annulus. This action is referred to as swabbing and the maximum
reduction in hydrostatic pressure is called the swab pressure. If the swab
pressure is greater than the hydrostatic pressure safety margin (overbalance
pressure), formation fluids will be swabbed into the wellbore.
When the drill string or casing is lowered or run into the well, mud is displaced
from the well. The frictional pressure losses from the flow of mud in the
annulus as it is displaced by the pipe causes pressures in excess of the
hydrostatic pressure of the column of mud in the wellbore. The elevated
pressures caused by running the drill string into the well are called surge
pressures. If the surge pressure plus the hydrostatic pressure exceed the fracture
gradient, the formation will be fractured with resultant loss of circulation.
Rheological
Factors
2010 Schlumberger
Mud Weight/Type
Rheological factors include the mud. Rheology plays in to the hydraulic
optimization of the well. If you use all the pressure drop on downhole tools,
you may not have enough pressure left to lift the cuttings out of the well and,
therefore, the rate of penetration in the well bogs down, along with the bits
(underreaming bits and drill bits). Different muds can help by lifting the
cuttings more efficiently. Each mud changes properties as you go deeper down
the well, so that has to be factored in as well.

Yield Point (YP)

Yield point, the second component of resistance to flow in a drilling fluid, is a
measurement of the electro-chemical or attractive forces in a fluid. These forces
are a result of negative and positive charges located on or near the particle
surfaces. Yield point is a measure of these forces under flow conditions and is
dependent upon:
The surface properties of the fluid solids

Volume concentration of the solids
The electrical environment of these solids (concentration and types of
iron in the fluid phase of the fluid)
Yield point is that part of resistance to flow that may be controlled by proper
chemical treatment. The yield point will decrease as the attractive forces are
reduced by chemical treatment. Reduction of yield point will also decrease the
apparent viscosity.
2010 Schlumberger
Plastic Viscosity (PV)

The plastic viscosity is a measure of the internal resistance to fluid flow
attributable to the amount, type, and size of solids present in a given fluid. It is
expressed as the number of dynes per cm2 of tangential shearing force in excess
of the Bingham yield value that will induce a unit rate of shear. This value,
expressed in centipoises, is proportional to the slope of the consistency curvedetermined in the region of laminar flow for materials obeying Binghams Law
of Plastic Flow. When using the direct-indicating ciscometer, the plastic
viscosity is found by subtracting the 300-RPM reading from the 600-RPM
reading.
