Prevention of barite sag in water-based drilling fluids by a urea-based additive for drilling deep formations
Mohamed A.; Al-Afnan S.; Elkatatny S.; Hussein I. ( MDPI , 2020 , Article)Barite sag is a challenging phenomenon encountered in deep drilling with barite-weighted fluids and associated with fluid stability. It can take place in vertical and directional wells, whether in dynamic or static conditions. ... -
Screening of surfactants and polymers for high temperature high salinity carbonate reservoirs
Kamal M.S.; Sultan A.; Hussein I.; Hussain S.M.S.; AlSofi A.M. ( Society of Petroleum Engineers , 2018 , Conference Paper)Carbonate reservoirs typically exhibit significant heterogeneity, high temperature and high salinit ies. Surfactant and polymer selection for such reservoirs is a challenging process where extensive laboratory investigations ... -
Stimulation of high temperature carbonate gas reservoirs using seawater and chelating agents: Reaction kinetics
Abdelgawad K.Z.; Mahmoud M.; Hussein I. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)The use of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in gas well stimulation of high temperature reservoirs is currently facing different challenges. These challenges include rapid corrosion of the well tubulars, face dissolution, very high ... -
Thermochemical Upgrading of Calcium Bentonite for Drilling Fluid Applications
Magzoub M.; Mahmoud M.; Nasser M.; Hussein I.; Elkatatny S.; Sultan A.... more authors ... less authors ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2019 , Article)The rheological properties of bentonite suspensions depend on the chemical composition and the contained dominant element, such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). Na-bentonite type is the one used in drilling ...
