Closed loop well designs and control for extraction of subsurface geothermal power
Background Dr.
Eric van Oort
and his team have developed a deep, closed-loop geothermal well design to improve upon traditional enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Dr. van Oort is the Joe J. King Chair of Engineering No. 2 and B. J. Lancaster Professorship in Petroleum Engineering and a professor at UT Austin, with primary interests in drilling/completion...

Real-time automated control and characterization of drilling fluid rheology
Problem statementDrilling is one of the most expensive activities in any oil and gas operation. Monitoring drilling and completion fluid and maintaining these at desired levels of viscosity and density is essential for optimum drilling fluid performance, efficient hole cleaning, and Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) management, as well as preventing...

RAPIDClean: fast, accurate real-time simulations for hole cleaning operations
Problem statementImproper hole cleaning is a major cause of non-productive time (NPT) in drilling. Current hole cleaning practices are mostly based on experience, rules of thumb and simplistic calculations, and do not necessarily work as expected in all scenarios. Available models do not include parameters such as fluid compressibility, pipe rotation...

Advanced sensors for RT determination of mud density and flow rate in high-pressure conditions
Problem statementLost circulation can have disastrous consequences including blowout (uncontrolled kicks) and loss of life, so close monitoring to quickly assess and control such events is essential. Market estimates indicate that over $2 billion USD is spent annually to combat and mitigate these events. Real-time measurement of mass flow is critical...

Simple drill system process for accurate determination of formation properties
Problem statementKnowledge of rock mechanical properties at subsurface conditions is essential to hydrocarbon exploration and production industry. Current methods to obtain this data include seismic amplitude measurements prior to drilling, while-drilling methodologies (LWD and MWD) using drill acoustics and post-drilling methods that use wireline logging...
