The complex future power plants require digital twin (DT) architecture to achieve high
reliability, availability and maintainability at lower cost. The available research on DT for …

Carbon dioxide transport from capture to utilization or storage locations plays key functions
in carbon capture and storage systems. In this study, a comprehensive overview and …

Deepwater drilling involves complex operations and equipment, so it is faced with various
operational challenges including well control accidents. This paper proposes a dynamic risk …

Inadequate hole-cleaning in an annulus leads to several problems such as mechanical pipe
sticking, premature bit wear, formation fracturing, and/or slow drilling. However, the literature …

Warning signs of a possible kick during drilling operations can either be primary (flow rate
increase and pit gain) or secondary (drilling break and pump pressure decrease). Drillers …

In the ocean environment, the riserless mud recovery (RMR) system uses the return line as
the return channel, resulting in the injection and return channels for the drilling fluid …

Accurate and speedy determination of pressure drop during cuttings transport is an
important aspect of a drilling operation. However, the literature suggests that there is a lack …

After a kick occurs during petroleum drilling, the rapid and accurate prediction of abnormal
pore pressure is the basis for taking proper well control measures. In this work, we build an …

This paper presents a simple mechanistic model to describe a gas kick in a drilling riser with
water-based mud (WBM) and synthetic-based mud (SBM). This model can estimate key kick …

Kick detection is crucial for ensuring process safety of drilling operation. Detection of a kick
at early stage leaves more time for the drilling crew to take necessary actions. In this work, a …
