1 Tekna Flow Assurance 2015, Larvik Improved fluid control by proper non-newtonian flow modeling Stein Tore Johansen, SINTEF Sjur Mo, SINTEF A general wall friction model for a non-newtonian fluid has been developed and compared successfully to experimental data. The model computes the velocity profiles, for given rheology, velocity, pipe diameter and wall roughness, and results in a generic friction factor which can be applied to fluids with non-newtonian behavior. The transition between laminar and turbulent flow is included. In the presentation we compare model and experimental pressure drops for various rheologies. A case of cleanup of a well containing water based mud is discussed Tekna Flow Assurance 2015, Larvik Teknologi for et bedre samfunn 1

2 Introduction Non-Newtonian flows are present in many situations All oils where precipitation is thermodynamically possible Precipitated particles may cause non-newtonian rheology Precipitates, such as asphaltenes, wax, naphthenic acids, inorganic salts Emulsions formed by the flow and where fluid interfaces are modified and stabilized by surfactants or particles Drilling operations. The drilling fluids contain different types of particles. The fluid base may be some stabile emulsion. Completion fluids Typical flow assurance situations where non-newtonian effects must be respected Flows with precipitated wax, hydrates, as well as emulsions Well clean-up: Leftover drilling fluids and completion fluids Tekna Flow Assurance 2015, Larvik Teknologi for et bedre samfunn 2

21 Summary - model A numerical model is established for friction in non-newtonian flows The model can represent available experimental data well The model gives for the first time a method to include wall roughness into non- Newtonian wall friction predictions The model can be applied directly as boundary condition in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations The model can easily be extended to represent heat transfer (mildly temperature dependent rheologies) The model is quite computationally intensive: i) Huge potential for speed optimization ii) Easy to generate pre-calculated friction factor curves for any fluid rheology allows superfast friction calculations Tekna Flow Assurance 2015, Larvik Teknologi for et bedre samfunn 21

22 Summary of sample simulation A non-newtonian model has been implemented into LedaFlow Here we investigated the "water phase" as a mixture of brine and WBM. Water based mud sitting in a well is very challenging to clean out due to Yield stress of mud High effective viscosity of mud A combined effect of the two above is that initial velocity during clean-up may be too low, such that only trapped gas can escape, making the situation worse Mud may only partially be cleaned out, restricting wellbore area and limiting production Tekna Flow Assurance 2015, Larvik Teknologi for et bedre samfunn 22
