    Abstract: A well operation simulator predicts temperature and pressure profiles of a multi-tubing completion well for well design. The simulator is comprised of modules, which when executed, determine a first set of design limits based on stress conditions arising from the temperature and pressure profiles from a multi-tubing drilling module and a multi -tubing production module for drilling and production operations. A multi-tubing multi-string module predicts the annular fluid expansion (AFE) and annular pressure buildup (APB) of the multi-tubing well from the previously calculated temperature profile, pressure profile, and stress conditions and determines a second set of design limits with the AFE/APB effects in addition to the temperature profile and pressure profile predicted from multi-tubing drilling module and multi-tubing production module. The first and second sets of design limits are depicted using one or

    Abstract: A method may include drilling a deviated wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation according to bottom hole assembly parameters and surface parameters; collecting real-time formation data during drilling; updating a model of the subterranean formation based on the real-time formation data and deriving formation properties therefrom; collecting survey data corresponding to a location of a drill bit in the subterranean formation; deriving a target well path for the drilling based on the model of the subterranean formation; deriving a series of trajectory well paths based on the formation properties, the survey data, the bottom hole assembly parameters, and the surface parameters and uncertainties associated therewith; deriving an actual well path based on the series of trajectory well paths; deriving a deviation between the target well path and the actual well path; and adjusting the bottom hole assembly parameters and the surface parameters to maintain the deviation below a threshold.

    Abstract: A method for assessing an integrity of metal tubular structures may comprise receiving one or more inputs, applying an algorithm to automatically select an appropriate model for a given corrosion scenario, applying a combined model including semi-empirical and multiphase flow corrosion characteristics to the one or more inputs, determining one or more corrosion parameters of either an internal pipe wall, an external pipe surface, or both, applying a corrosion correlation value to the one or more corrosion parameters to produce one or more correlated corrosion parameters, and storing the one or more correlated corrosion parameters on a computer readable medium. A system may comprise an information handling system which may comprise at least one memory operable to store computer-executable instructions, at least one communications interface to access the at least one memory, and at least one processor.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining vector-ratio safety factors for wellbore tubular design are provided. Pressure and temperature data for at least one load point along a tubular component of a wellbore are obtained. An effective failure axial load expected at the load point is calculated during a downhole operation to be performed along one or more sections of the wellbore within a subsurface formation, based on the obtained data. An upper boundary and a lower boundary for the effective failure axial load are determined, based on physical properties of the tubular component at the load point. A midpoint of the effective failure axial load is calculated based on the upper and lower boundaries. A critical failure differential pressure is calculated, based on the midpoint of the effective failure axial load. A vector-ratio safety factor is calculated, based on the critical failure differential pressure relative to the effective failure axial load.

    Abstract: A method for designing a borehole tubular for use in a borehole. The method may include defining tubular sections that make up the borehole tubular, defining a downhole operation that will be conducted using the borehole tubular at a first timestamp, determining loads that will be applied to each of the tubular sections at respective specific depths along the borehole during the downhole operation at the first timestamp, determining a design limit envelope for each of the tubular sections at the first timestamp based on design parameters of the tubular section and the specific depth of the tubular section at the first timestamp, and displaying a three-dimensional (3D) plot of the design limit envelopes of the tubular sections and the loads applied to the tubular sections as a function of depth within the borehole on a display.
