Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining design parameters for oil well casing and tubing to prevent buckling in deviated wellbores. Well parameter data including tubing size, tubing weight, well depth, and well geometry is obtained and may be utilized to calculate parameters for predicting the movement of tubing near a packer or centralizer in the deviated wellbore based on the received well parameter data, predicting a total bending moment near the packer or centralizer, predicting a maximum bending stress near the packer or centralizer based on the total bending moment, and predicting the minimum axial force necessary to initiate buckling due to friction, and predicting the onset of buckling for the connection of tubing of different sizes. After the parameters have been calculated, they may be utilized in the design of the oil well casing and tubing to prevent buckling in the deviated wellbore.

Patent CA-2659394-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSON BRENDAN
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 2007-07-17
Abstract: The present device is a microchannel separator that uses a separation driving force created by an electric field. An ionic fluid flows through the microchannels and is subjected to an electric field by two spaced apart parallel electrodes possessing an electric charge. The ions in the ionic fluid are attracted towards the charged electrodes and thus are concentrated in the region of flow near the charged electrodes and depleted from the central region of flow between the charged electrodes. The charged electrodes are insulated from the ionic fluid by an impermeable barrier which prevents arcing and adherence of the ions to the charged electrodes. After a sufficient length of passage of the ionic fluid through a main channel, two blocking plates separate the flow into a central and two outer output channels. The central channel draws a portion of the ionic fluid from the central region of the main channel that has fewer ions than the ionic fluid in the regions near the charged electrodes. The concentrated ionic fluid in the outer channels is discharged separately from the central channel.
