  • Publication number: 20250111110
    Abstract: Prepare a work order (WO) by: collecting user input; running an initial CFD-based cementing operation simulation, outputting a CFD result including simulated annular placement of cement with insufficient DE. Choose a section of casing; simulate mechanically coupling a turbulator to adjust displacement efficiency (DE) of cement within the annulus before casing installation; adjust turbulator mechanical properties to maximize DE; create the WO including adjusting turbulator spacing along the casing of the wellbore to one turbulator per joint; perform an additional CFD-based simulation with adjusted turbulator spacing to update and output simulated annular placement of cement and DE; determine a change in DE; adjust the WO based on a further simulation loop; and finalize the WO. Cement the wellbore by: transporting turbulators to a wellsite; installing wellbore casing spaced by turbulator spacing of the finalized WO; and pumping cement into the annulus, the cement contacting the turbulators to reduce channeling.

  • Publication number: 20240209849
    Abstract: A wellbore servicing method comprising transporting a pump unit comprising a unit controller and pumping equipment to a wellsite. Executing a design process on the unit controller to determine a concentration of a wellbore treatment fluid at a wiper plug within an oilfield tubular. The design process utilizes a CFD model to generate a static mesh representative of the geometry of the oilfield tubular, locate the wiper plug within the static mesh, and determine a fluid velocity on each side of the wiper plug with flexible static mesh cells. The CFD model can generate a prediction of the concentration of the wellbore treatment fluids in response to the wiper plug reaching a target location within the oilfield tubular.

  • Publication number: 20240044228
    Abstract: A method for controlling, tailoring, monitoring and executing a pumping operation of a wellbore treatment into a wellbore with an advisory process accessing pumping simulation results from a pumping model group. The advisory process can determine a change in the wellbore environment by comparing periodic datasets indicative of a pumping operation to a set of operational threshold values. The advisory process can identify the change in the wellbore environment from pumping simulation results generated by a pumping model group with pumping model inputs comprising portions of the periodic datasets. The advisory process can generate a modified pumping procedure in response to the identification of the change in the wellbore environment. The pumping model group can generate and forecast a probability of the pumping operation achieving a job objective.

  • Publication number: 20240028793
    Abstract: A method of designing a grout material for an anchoring pile system based on the analysis of a stress state of the anchoring pile constructed into a subterranean formation. An advisory process can utilize a model to produce a numerical model of the anchoring pile, a model to determine the operational loads, a model to determine the grout material, and a model to determine the stress state of the grout interfaces. The group of models can determine a probability of failure of the grout material, a probability of failure of a grout interface, and a predicted lifespan of the grout materials.
