Abstract: A system can determine a temperature profile based on a prior production temperature profile and a reference start point pressure for a well. The system can virtually divide the well into a plurality of sections including uphill sections and downhill sections. The system can determine a gas-oil interface depth for each section of the plurality of sections from a water-oil ratio and a gas-oil ratio based on the temperature profile and the reference start point pressure. The system can determine an oil-water interface depth for each section of the plurality of sections from the gas-oil ratio and the water-oil ratio based on the temperature profile and the reference start point pressure.

Abstract: System and methods for optimizing wellbore tubular design are provided. Design parameters for a wellbore tubular component are determined based on different types of axial loads expected during a downhole operation. The design parameters include load conditions at load points along the tubular component. An equivalent axial load is calculated for each load point, based on the corresponding load conditions. Design limits for the different types of axial loads are determined based on associated design parameters. A counter-load pressure is determined for at least one load point selected for each type of axial load, based on the corresponding equivalent axial load for each load point and a corresponding design limit for each type of axial load. At least one of the design limits is adjusted for the different types of axial loads, based on the counter-load pressure of the selected load point for each type of axial load.

Abstract: Damage to a casing string in a wellbore resulting from a wellbore operation can be predicted. For example, a stiff string model can be used to determine a contact point between the casing string and a well tool positionable within the casing string for performing the wellbore operation. The stiff string model can be used to determine a force of the well tool against the casing string at the contact point. The force can be used to determine a volume of damage to the casing string proximate to the contact point. A depth of a groove formed in the casing string proximate to the contact point can be determined based on the volume of damage.

Abstract: A system can receive data relating to a tubular of a well system. The system can execute a first module to determine first outputs. The system can execute a second module to determine second outputs based on the first outputs. The system can execute a third module to determine third outputs based on the first outputs. The second outputs can include a crack-initiation fracture pressure, and the third outputs can include a crack-propagation fracture pressure. The system can identify a brittle-burst strength of the tubular from among the second outputs, the third outputs, and a standard burst strength of the tubular. The system can provide the brittle-burst strength of the tubular to facilitate an adjustment to the tubular to optimize a wellbore operation associated with the well system.

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: A method for determining annular fluid expansion (“AFE”) within a borehole with a sealed casing string annulus. The method may include defining a configuration of the borehole. The method may further include defining a production operation and a borehole operation. The method may also include determining AFE within the borehole when performing the production operation. The method may further include determining AFE within the borehole when performing the borehole operation based on the AFE within the borehole when performing the production operation.

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.
