GAS LIFT USING DISSOLVABLE CO2 SALT PELLETS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS RELATED THERETO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240301276 titled 'GAS LIFT USING DISSOLVABLE CO2 SALT PELLETS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS RELATED THERETO
The patent application describes a system and method for introducing dissolvable cosalt pellets into a wellbore to release cogas and cause air lift in the drilling fluid.
- Dissolvable cosalt pellets are introduced into the wellbore in fluid communication with the drilling fluid.
- The dissolvable cosalt pellets dissolve, releasing cogas into the drilling fluid.
- The release of cogas causes air lift in the drilling fluid, aiding in the drilling process.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced drilling efficiency in oil and gas exploration. - Improved wellbore stability during drilling operations.
Problems Solved: - Increased drilling efficiency by utilizing cogas for air lift. - Enhanced wellbore stability through controlled release of cogas.
Benefits: - Reduced drilling time and costs. - Minimized risks of wellbore instability.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Cogas Release System for Enhanced Drilling Efficiency" This technology can be applied in the oil and gas industry for improved drilling operations, leading to cost savings and increased productivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the release of cogas improve drilling efficiency? - The release of cogas creates air lift in the drilling fluid, aiding in the removal of cuttings and enhancing drilling speed. 2. What are the potential environmental impacts of using dissolvable cosalt pellets in drilling operations? - The use of dissolvable cosalt pellets can reduce the environmental footprint of drilling activities by minimizing the need for traditional drilling fluids.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods including introducing a plurality of dissolvable cosalt pellets into a wellbore in fluid communication with a drilling fluid present within the wellbore; dissolving the dissolvable cosalt pellets, thereby releasing cogas; and causing air lift in the drilling fluid as the cogas is released.
