6 FAQs about [Thermal imaging to determine mud temperature on drilling rigs]

Can mud profiles be used to predict mud temperature during drilling?

The mud profiles also give indication of formation characteristics of the rock contacted during drilling. The object of this investigation was to develop an analytical mathematical model that could be used to predict the mud temperature in the drill pipe and annulus during drilling at any depth in the well.

Does wellbore temperature affect drilling mud properties?

Therefore, with increasing in drilling depth the wellbore temperature increases that effect on drilling mud properties (viscosity include yield point (YP) and plastic viscosity (PV)). This experimental work conducted at rig IDC 41, NS-39 in the Nasiriyah oil field by using real field data.

What factors affect drilling mud properties?

There are many factors that effect on drilling mud, including the borehole temperature. Therefore, with increasing in drilling depth the wellbore temperature increases that effect on drilling mud properties (viscosity include yield point (YP) and plastic viscosity (PV)).

Can mud circulation temperatures be used to predict logged bottom-hole mud temperature?

The mud circulation temperatures obtained by this simple analytical method can be used to predict logged bottom-hole mud temperatures, they can be used also as initial temperatures in predicting mud column temperature buildup after circulation is stopped.

Is mud circulation necessary for supercritical geothermal drilling?

This is insufficient for drilling supercritical geothermal reservoirs with temperatures exceeding 400°C. Downhole cooling techniques by mud circulation is still considered indispensable for ultrahigh-temperature supercritical geothermal drilling even if the heat-resistant performance of drilling tools will be improved in the future.

What devices are used to measure drilling mud density?

The devices for this work are fan V-G meter (Model 286), heat source and temperature measurement (IR Thermometer).In this experiment using two types of drilling mud density (1.35 gm/cc and 1.21 gm/cc), with increasing temperature the value of PV and YP increase. Also, YP/PV ratio increasing means more drilling cuttings transport.
