Abstract: A method of cementing a wellbore includes injecting into the wellbore a non-aqueous fluid; injecting into the wellbore a cement slurry and a non-ionic surfactant composition after injecting the non-aqueous fluid; and allowing the cement slurry to set, wherein the non-ionic surfactant composition comprises an alkyl end-capped ethoxylated fatty alcohol, a chain extended non-ionic surfactant, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.

Abstract: A method for cementing a borehole includes pumping a collection of fluids into the borehole through a tubular string in the borehole and flowing the collection of fluids up an annulus positioned between the tubular string and a sidewall of the borehole. The method additionally includes monitoring a volume of the fluids pumped into the borehole, and performing a first estimation of a position of the fluids based on the volume of the collection of fluids pumped into the borehole, and an initial estimate of an average diameter of the sidewall of at least a portion of the borehole. The method further includes calculating a corrected estimate of the average diameter based on the first estimation and a pressure of the fluids measured at an inlet of the tubular string, and performing a second estimation of the position of the fluids based on the corrected estimate of the average diameter.

Abstract: A method for mitigating a fluid flow from a target wellbore using a relief wellbore includes receiving wellbore geometry information of the target wellbore, receiving an initial interception point of the target wellbore, simulating a change in a three-dimensional flow characteristic of a kill fluid flow from a simulated relief wellbore and a target fluid flow from a simulated target wellbore resulting from an interaction between the kill fluid flow and the target fluid flow at the initial interception point, the simulated target wellbore designed using the received wellbore geometry information, and determining a final interception point of the target wellbore based on the simulation.

Abstract: A well advisor system and console for monitoring and managing pressure testing operations at a well site. The system may be accessed through one or more workstations, or other computing devices, which may be located at a well site or remotely. The system is in communication with and receives input from various sensors. It collects real-time sensor data sampled during operations at the well site. The system processes the data, and provides nearly instantaneous numerical and visual feedback through a variety of graphical user interfaces (“GUIs”), which are presented in the form of an operation-specific console. The input and data provides information related to pressure testing at a well site.

Abstract: The present invention provides a continuous process for producing calcium phosphate nanoparticles in a network mixer or static mixer reactor, fed by a calcium solution, a phosphorous solution and an alkaline solution and, optionally, one solvent or dispersing agent. The proposed process enables the micromixing control, which is essential to form nanometric structures, but it is also a determining factor in the crystals purity, crystallinity and morphology. The reactants distribution scheme at the inlet of the reactor and along the reactor, performed continuously or varying in time, is also a crucial factor to programme the pH of the reactant media along the reactor The calcium phosphate nanoparticles suspension that exits the reactor can be submitted to further aging, ultra-sounds, separation, drying, sintering and milling processes.
