Abstract

Gas-lift dual gradient drilling (DGD) is a solution for the complex problems caused by narrow drilling windows in deepwater drilling. Investigations are lacking on using oil-based drilling fluid in DGD, which is the principal novel idea of the present study. This research compares the results obtained from two new models with those of Standing’s correlations for solubility and bubble point pressure. Nitrogen was selected as the injection gas, then the PVT behavior of drilling fluid (oil/water/Nitrogen) in gas-lift DGD was evaluated and compared by coding in MATLAB. Then, these results were used to calculate the bottom hole pressure and finally investigate the optimization of injected gas flow rate. According to the achieved results, the Standing model has some errors in evaluating the PVT behavior of “Nitrogen and oil-based drilling fluids” and is not recommended for the mixtures in the gas-lift DGD. Regarding optimizing gas flow rate, a discrepancy was observed between pressure values obtained from the new models and the Standing model for the case of high liquid flow rates at low gas flow rates because of the difference in PVT parameters. The developed codes are deposited on an online data repository for future users. This study lays the foundation for better planning of drilling in deepwater drilling projects.
