Prevention of gas migration in the area of the Carpathian Foothills in the laboratory tests
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Uliasz, Małgorzata; Kremieniewski, Marcin
In the area of the Carpathian Foothills, gas exhalations are a frequently observed phenomenon. It is connected with the presence of many shallow gas horizons in the autochthonous Miocene. In addition, gas migration effect is intensified due to the complicated geological structure in this region. During drilling boreholes, one of the most important requirements is to ensure adequate tightness in the annular space. In connection with the above, laboratory tests were carried out in the Oil and Gas Institute - National Research Institute, whose aim was to assess the impact of applied drilling fluids on the degree of sealing the annular space on the contact hardened cement slurry - rock formation, for specific geological and technical conditions. The result of the conducted research work was a modification of the composition of washing fluids in terms of improving the efficiency of their impact on the wall of borehole and removal of mudcake formed by the drilling muds, as well as modification of cement slurry formulations by application appropriate additives to prevent gas migration. During research work have been indicated potential causes of gas migration from the annular space in the selected holes drilled in the Carpathian Foothills and preventive actions aimed at reduction gas migration and exhalation.

Drilling large diameter water wells in carbonate strata in the Lublin area
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Macuda, Jan; Macuda, Małgorzata
One of the most important sources of water for communal purposes in the Lublin area are the useful groundwater aquifers intaken with deep drilled wells. Such wells should be highly efficient and localized in a close vicinity of the local water supply network to lower the cost of transport. Large amounts of water can be produced by large diameter wells, where heavy duty pump aggregates can be installed. High rates of penetration cannot be obtained if the profile abounds in hardly drillable carbonate. This elongates the time of drilling and increases negative impact of mud on the near well zone of the aquifer. It also lowers hydraulic parameters of the well. To improve the efficiency of the wells, drillability tests with cogged bits were performed in carbonate rocks to optimize the mechanical parameters of drilling. Measurement sections, each 0.3 to 0.5 m long, were selected for the tests. Each section was drilled at constant rotational speed and weight of bit values. Prior to the drillability tests, the limits on the weight of bit and rotational speed of the bit were established, in line with the technological characteristic of rig Wirth B3A, strength of the string and of the cogged bit.

Assessment of the possibility of enzymatic decomposition of cellulose blockers
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Turkiewicz, Anna; Kapusta, Piotr
The article discusses two series of the biodegradation tests of organic blockers used in drilling mud technology. Degradation process of the selected cellulose blockers in terms of quality was assessed by the colorimetric method. In all test solutions these tests revealed the presence of free glucose which is the final product of degradation of modified cellulose from which blockers were made. The beginning of the degradation process was noted already after 48 hours of the impact of enzymatic preparations on samples of blockers. The progress of the degradation process after 30 and 40 days of incubation was assessed by gravimetric method by draining sludge and marking blocker dry matter after enzymatic impact, comparing the sludge matter in samples with the specified enzyme to control samples without the addition of the enzyme. The research described in the work may be useful in the oil industry as they contain data (from laboratory-scale tests) on potential treatments with the use of enzymatic preparations. Detailed data on the degree of degradation of individual enzymatic preparations is included in the tables.

Method used for safety pillar reconstruction on the example of the Dunajewski gallery in the «Wieliczka» Salt Mine
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Gonet, Andrzej; Stryczek, Stanisław
Preserving such unique objects as the "Wieliczka" Salt Mine for the future generations is an obvious obligation. Water is the biggest threat to this object and many similar ones. At the last stage or even in the course of mine exploitation salt mines are flooded as this is the simplest method of their liquidation applied worldwide. However this method cannot be used in the "Wieliczka" Salt Mine, which was put on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage list in 1978. Geological and hydrogeological conditions in the Dunajewski gallery are presented in this paper. The Dunajewski gallery is localized directly east of the Mina gallery, where a catastrophic water flux was observed in 1992, threatening the mine with flooding and with considerable damage on the surface. Authors describe the pipeline injection method which was used in that situation. This was a fast and economic method thanks to which the Dunajewski gallery and the adjoining leaching gallery could be efficiently and tightly filled. Specialist recipes for sealing slurry had to be worked out. The slurry was prepared in an injection column elevated in the neighborhood of the Kościuszko shaft and then transported with special pipelines through the Kościuszko shaft and some workings to the Dunajewski gallery. In this way the off-side safety pillar in the area of the Dunajewski gallery was reconstructed.

Reinterpretation of the results of the two-cycle reservoir test of the Mesozoic water-bearing deposits in the W-3 well in terms of assessing the changes in rock permeability in the zones tested with a drill stem tester
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Dubiel, Stanisław; Rzyczniak, Mirosław; Solecki, Marek
The article presents the results of the reinterpretation of the results of the two-cycle DST of the Mesozoic strata in the W-3 well to assess the changes in permeability of reservoir rocks in the test zone. Two-dimensional diagrams of the first and second pressure restoration curves in the semi-logarithm coordinate system were taken into account. The determined linear regression equations of these sections give simultaneously the extrapolated value of the reservoir pressure and the directional coefficient. The "logarithmic approximation" method used in hydrogeology was used to determine the radius of the perimeter zone with altered permeability of the water-bearing rocks of the Mesozoic.

Emission of pollutants into the air during exploration of coalbed methane
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Łukańko, Łukasz; Macuda, Jan
Coalbed methane is usually utilized by gas well drilled from the surface. In order to increase the coefficient of methane exploration from coal seams, in a horizontal section of the well, hydraulic fracturing operations are applied. Drilling process and hydraulic fracturing operations involve emission of pollutants to the air from the fuel combustion process. In the case of drilling operations fuel is used to generate electric power, which drives the drilling device and its components, while during hydraulic fracturing to drive high-pressure pump engines.

The influence of water on various clay rocks
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Goc, Andrzej; Wojtasiak, Patrycja; Stec, Maciej; Piotrowski, Jarosław
One of the challenges of any laboratory dealing with drilling fluids is to develop a mud that is also environmentally friendly and, on the other hand, inhibits the clay layers to a maximum. The article presents the influence of water on various samples of clay rocks characterized by different geological age. The research was carried out using the Linear Swelling Meter. The geological age, the environment in which the clay rock was formed, the depth of burial - all these factors affect the swelling properties of individual clay rocks. Knowledge of the swelling properties of clay rocks allows the proper selection of drilling fluid system.

(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Dąbrowski, Karol; Kuczyński, Szymon; Włodek, Tomasz; Smulski, Rafał; Barbacki, Jan
Gaseous hydrocarbons and nitrogen mixtures are characterized with an own designed portable Raman system equipped with a high pressure autoclave and fiber-optic probe. Backscattered radiation is collected through a sapphire window with a probe and transferred to the spectrometer. Samples are measured for a set of pressures in the range of 1-150 bar in ambient temperature. Measurement conditions are set to maintain an one-phase system. Spectra are collected in a wide range of wavenumber 350-3500 cm -1. Initial composition of measured samples is measured be means of gas chromatography. Design computer algorithms automatically detects and characterizes Raman bands for given species and their peak areas. The influence of both pressure and concentration of a given element on given band position and area are demonstrated.

Experimental and analytical study of the side cutting ability of drill bits
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Tellez, Christian; Miska, Stefan; Ozbayoglu, Evren; Ziaja, Małgorzata; Singh, Kriti
Side cutting ability of a drill bit is an important factor to ensure successful directional/horizontal drilling. In this study, a mathematical model of a drill bit has been developed to investigate the side cutting ability of a drill bit. In addition to the theoretical model, the study is also supported by experimental work. Experiments have been conducted for both PDC and tri-cone rotary roller drill bits. Equilibrium equations for BHA in a curved wellbore were established. The expression of internal forces and moments along the drill-string, which are the state variables, are derived. Because of the simplicity and fast computation capability, transfer matrix method (TMM) was adopted to determine these variables. Experiments were conducted on an indoor Tulsa University Drilling Research Projects (TUDRP) full-scale drilling rig. Tests have been conducted using 6 inch and 8.5 inch PDC drill bits. In addition, 8.5 inch tri-cone bit were tested as well. Bent sub was installed above the drill bit to enhance the side force at the bit. During the experiments, weight on bit (WOB) and flow rate were kept constant. The torque was recorded by torque gage. It was observed that RPM has little influence on torque. As expected, the bit side cutting abilities, also referred to as bit steer-ability, were different for different bits. For quantitative comparisons, a dimensionless quantity has been introduced that measures the relative difference in torque with bent sub and without with respect to torque without bent sub. In all tests, the torque with bent subs was found to be greater than those without. Hence, the relative difference is always positive. The higher the relative difference, the poorer the side cutting ability. For drill bits with side cutting ability equal to that of face cutting, the dimensionless quantity becomes zero. In conclusion, the main outcome of this paper is a new method of measuring face and side cutting ability for PDC and tri-cone bits. A similar approach has been applied to the analysis of data from offset wells using a computer program to predict side forces and the corresponding torques. This in turn permitted us to calculate the relative difference in torque and assess the side cutting ability of the drill bits. A comprehensive study of the side cutting ability of a drill bits missing in the current literature. Considering the important role side cutting ability plays in directional drilling, a very innovative mathematical model has been proposed to study the same. Experimental tests have been conducted to verify the model. The model can be used to analyze directional data and obtain useful information from offset wells to enhance future drilling projects.
