Doppler ultrasound for quantification of fluid influx/ efflux from borehole fractures using LWD tools
Indimath, Shivanandan (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:221, Doctoral thesis, 2024)The work presented in this thesis is aimed at studying the potential for applying ultrasonic Doppler measurements during a borehole drilling process using ultrasonic logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools. The primary intention ... -
Effect of bubble size on ultrasound backscatter from bubble clouds in the context of gas kick detection in boreholes
Indimath, Shivanandan; Fiorentini, Stefano; Bøklepp, Bjarne Rosvoll; Avdal, Jørgen; Johansen, Tonni Franke; Måsøy, Svein-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Early detection of gas influx in boreholes while drilling is of significant interest to drilling operators. Several studies suggest a good correlation between ultrasound backscatter/attenuation and gas volume fraction (GVF) ... -
Optimization of pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasound for estimation of influx/efflux in oil and gas boreholes while drilling using conventional LWD transducers
Indimath, Shivanandan; Fiorentini, Stefano; Bøklepp, Bjarne Rosvoll; Avdal, Jørgen; Måsøy, Svein-Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The extraction of oil and gas typically involves drilling boreholes through various subsurface strata. Abrupt variations in the formation properties can severely compromise the borehole stability if the drilling process ...
