The D exponent is a method for normalizing the rate of penetration (ROP) during drilling operations. It was developed by Bingham and Jordan and Shirley to account for the effect of rotation per minute (RPM), weight on bit (WOB), and bit diameter on ROP. However, the D exponent does not always accurately reflect rock strength, as it may decrease with depth in abnormally pressured formations rather than increasing linearly. A modification was later proposed by Rehm et al. to correct the D exponent for the effect of changes in mud weight. However, the corrected D exponent is still influenced by factors like lithology and geological variations between formations.

Bullheading is a common non-circulating method for killing live wells prior to workovers. It involves pumping kill fluid into the tubing to displace produced fluids back into the formation. A bullheading schedule is generated using formation pressure, desired overbalance, fracture pressure, tubing specifications, and pump data to safely control pumping pressures within the initial and final maximum pressures. The schedule provides checkpoints to monitor pumping pressure and volume throughout the operation. Special attention should be paid to any increases in casing pressure which could indicate downhole issues.RFT & MDT.pdf

Capillary PressureHojjat Mahdiyar
油
1) Capillary pressure is defined as the curvature of the fluid interface times the surface tension. Higher curvature results in higher capillary pressure.
2) In smaller pores, the curvature of the fluid interface is higher, resulting in higher capillary pressure. As the saturation of the wetting phase decreases, the curvature increases in smaller pores and capillary pressure increases.
3) During drainage, the wetting phase is drawn into smaller pores, increasing capillary pressure. Drainage requires an entry pressure related to the largest pore diameter. Imbibition occurs spontaneously without an entry pressure as the wetting phase moves into smaller pores.Well planning

Modern multi-proposer consensus implementationsFran巽ois Garillot
油
Multi-proposer consensus protocols let multiple validators propose blocks in parallel, breaking the single-leader throughput bottleneck of classic designs. Yet the modern multi-proposer consensus implementation has grown a lot since HotStuff. THisworkshop will explore the implementation details of recent advances DAG-based approaches like Narwhal and Suis Mysticeti and reveal how implementation details translate to real-world performance gains. We focus on the nitty-gritty: how network communication patterns and data handling affect throughput and latency. New techniques such as Turbine-like block propagation (inspired by Solanas erasure-coded broadcast) and lazy push gossip broadcasting dramatically cut communication overhead. These optimizations arent just theoretical they enable modern blockchains to process over 100,000 transactions per second with finality in mere milliseconds redefining what is possible in decentralized systems.

Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late. There is an urgent need for a new generation of computational theories and tools to assist researchers in extracting useful information from the rapidly growing volumes of digital data.
This Journal provides a forum for researchers who address this issue and to present their work in a peer-reviewed open access forum. Authors are solicited to contribute to the Journal by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to these topics only.Complete guidance book of Asp.Net Web API

D-exponenet
- 1. D-Exponent SYED NAWAZ M.Tech Petroleum Exploration and Production
- 2. Content Introduction Limitations of D Exponent Modification in D Exponent
- 3. Introduction It is a method of correcting or normalizing ROP. The D exponent is the work of Bingham and Jordan and Shirley
- 4. Mathematical representation ROP= Rate of Penetration (ft/hr) RPM= Rotation per Minute WOB= Weight on Bit (lbs) B= Diameter (inch)
- 5. Limitation of D Exponent The D exponent is proportional to rock strength and for normally pressured formations, the D exponent increases linearly with depth, reflecting increased rock strength and depth. For abnormally pressured formation, the D exponent deviates from the normal trend and actually decreases with depth.
- 6. Modification in D Exponent A further modification of the D Exponent was proposed by Rehm et al 1971 who attempted to correct the D exponent for the effect of changes in mud weight. The resultant equation for the corrected D Exponent (dc)
- 8. Limitation of D Exponent Increase in mud weight cause lower values of corrected d exponent Corrected d exponent is effected by lithology, unconformities in the formations, etc
