The petroleum industry uses solids-free brines for completion and work over fluids. Operators must use brine densities sufficient to produce the required overbalance for well control, usually 200 psi ...

In work published in Science Advances, a team of researchers have determined a new pressure scale, which is critical for understanding the Earth’s composition. Using x-rays from a uniquely powerful ...

Gas density is frequently estimated indirectly by gas pressure sensors. Because the pressure in a tightly sealed compartment fluctuates greatly with temperature, such systems require temperature ...

Accurate prediction of bottomhole circulating temperature is important during drilling and completion of oil and gas wells and critical for properly designed cement slurries. Downhole temperature is ...

Powder is a collection of single solid particles, which in most cases may be considered a basic unit. Powder is typically comprised of solid particles, interparticle voids, as well as open and closed ...
