AbstractRadial jet drilling (RJD) technology has been applied to enhance the recovery of difficult-to-produce reserves by multiple horizontal micro-holes. The micro-hole length drilled by high-pressure water jets is of vital importance for the oil and gas recovery effect and is usually tens of meters long for applications in maturing oil fields in China. The water jets are generated by multiple orifices nozzle generally. Many studies focused on improving the self-propelled force generated by water jets to increase the micro-hole length. However, there are few researches on improving the micro-hole extension capacity in terms of optimizing the flexible hose that acts as the drill pipe in conventional drilling technology. This paper firstly studied the relationship between the flexible hose length and the micro-hole extension limit according to the analytical model to calculate the micro-hole extension limit. Then, the method to optimize the flexible hose length and the flow rate was developed aiming to obtain maximum micro-hole extension limit. The results show that the micro-hole extension limit decreases logarithmically with the increase in the flexible hose length under the condition that the takes the maximum value. The optimization model is applied by a field case and is proved to be effective to increase the micro-hole extension limit. This study is significant to improve the micro-hole extension capacity. Moreover, it provides a reference for the design of the hydraulics and selection of flexible hose for the RJD.

Drilling Technology

Radial jet drilling (RJD) technology is an effective method to enhance oil and gas recovery by penetrating the near-wellbore damage zone, and increasing the drainage radius greatly. Recently, it is identified as a potential technology to develop the geothermal energy. But the extension ability, one of the most critical issues of the RJD, is limited. Because only high pressure flexible hose (HPFH), which is hard to be fed in and subjected to greater resistance by the diverter, can be used as the drill stem to turn from vertical to horizontal in the casing. In this paper, an innovative method to feed in the HPFH by the drag force generated by high velocity flow in narrow annulus is proposed. The drag force model is built, validated, and modified by theoretical and experimental ways. Results show that the resulting drag force, which is equivalent to the self-propelled force, can easily achieve and feed in the HPFH. There is a power law relationship between the drag force and the average velocity; the drag force increases linearly with the length of the narrow annulus. Higher average velocity and 1–1.5 m annulus length are recommended. According to force analysis, the extension ability of the RJD can be doubled theoretically by this method. The results of this paper will greatly promote the development of RJD technology.

Cutting Inserts

In this paper, the thread turning of aluminum 7075-T6 alloy is studied using micro-hole textured solid-lubricant embedded carbide inserts. The primary focus of this work is to enhance the performance of the thread turning process for producing high quality threaded parts. To achieve this, micro-holes were generated by laser micro-machining on the rake face of tools and then, MoS2 and CNT (carbon nanotube) solid-lubricants were embedded into micro-holes. The effects of micro-holes and solid-lubrication on the performance of the thread turning process were examined using traditional tool ( T0), micro-hole textured tool ( T1), micro-hole textured MoS2 embedded tool ( T2), and micro-hole textured CNT embedded tool ( T3). In this study, cutting forces, chip-tool contact length, built-up edge (BUE), surface roughness, and operating cost were investigated. The influence of micro-hole generation on the mechanical strength of cutting inserts was evaluated using the finite element method. The results showed that the fabrication of the micro-holes on the rake surface of cutting inserts has no significant effect on the mechanical strength of the tools. The comparisons of our method with traditional tools demonstrated that the cutting performance improved in the threading process. Our results reveal that the main cutting force, radial thrust force, surface roughness, built-up edge, and chip-tool contact length reduced 37.1%, 40.9%, 37.9%, 58.3%, and 38.2%, respectively, as T3 tools are applied in this process. A cost analysis, based on estimated tooling costs, showed that the T3 tool can yield an 18% reduction in overall operating cost.

The paper studies the reduction rate of gas production in the wells of Bulla-deniz field drilled to VIII horizon. With this purpose, geological (reservoir properties, oil-gas saturation, net thickness, formation pressure and temperature, formation heterogeneity, multi-layer system, tectonic faults, physical-chemical properties of oil and gas etc.) and technological (well structure, measuring and transportation system, well operation regime, drilling technology etc.) conditions of formation were analyzed and the well model of VII and VIII horizons of Bulla-deniz field using these geological and technical parameters developed as well. For the estimation of impact of geological and technical aspects on production, sensitivity analysis was carried out on the models. The suggestions for elaboration of uncertainty of geological and technical parameters affecting production dynamics were developed. To reveal the reasons for production differences of the wells, it was proposed to install borehole manometers, to obtain the data on pressure recovery curves, drainage area, skin-effect impact, permeability and to develop a study plan of bottomhole zone with acid.

The Relationship

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the relationship between green human resource management (GHRM) practices and the environmental performance (EP) of firms belonging to industries that may lean toward environmental pollution (e.g. oil and gas). The authors propose a holistic (serial mediation) model based on the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory and the social exchange theory (SET) and integrate organizational, i.e. perceived organizational support (POS), and individual, i.e. innovative environmental behavior (IEB), factors as explanatory mechanisms. The authors then test the model in a developing country context.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from white collar workers in the oil and gas industry in Pakistan. A structural equation modeling (SEM) technique and the PROCESS model 6 were used to analyze the hypothesized serial mediation model.FindingsThe authors found support for the fully meditating serial mediation model. Although the direct effects of GHRM and EP were insignificant, the total effects and indirect effects through POS and IEB were significant. Similarly, the research also found support for organizational and individual factors as explanatory mechanisms in the relationship between GHRM and EP.Originality/valueThis research adds to the existing literature on GHRM and the corporate EP link through proposing and testing a model of the mediating effects of POS and IEB. Furthermore, it provides empirical evidence of this model in the oil and gas sector using an Asian developing country as the context of study.
