Abstract

SummaryThis article presents the detailed formulation for each of the three steps of a horizontal gravel-pack displacement operation, including sand injection and alpha/beta waves propagation. The main core of the model, aiming to define alpha wave height, is based on a well known two-layer model. Initially developed for hydrotransport applications, this kind of model has been adapted by several authors for drilled cuttings transport analysis. Additionally, a comparison between theoretical predictions and pumping charts from a field operation performed in Campos basin is presented.
