• Engineered Offshore Displacements: Description, Tools, and Field Results

Q1. What are the differences between DISPLEX and CleanMax⁺?
CleanMax⁺ covers all functions of DISPLEX and is equipped with more advanced features like the following:

• Up to 16 operation stages for land wells
• Combination of 9 flow paths for deep water operations
• Fluid compressibility
• Pressure and temperature dependent rheology
• Circulation sub and gravel pack
• Coiled tubing operation

Q2. What are the distinctive features of CleanMax⁺ for deep water operations?
CleanMax⁺ is designed for deep water operations involving displacements using the choke, kill, and boost lines. CleanMax⁺ predicts the temperature distributions in the wellbore by calculating the transient heat transfer between wellbore and sea water/rock formation. It can simulate temperature and pressure dependent density and rheology properties of fluids, commonly associated with HTHP environments.

Q3. Can I specify my own clean-up tools and create the tools schematic by uploading my own tool pictures?
Yes. User can define the clean-up tools configuration in “Pipe” section, and import their own tools pictures. The WMF (commonly generated by AutoCAD) format picture is required to plot the tools schematic.

Q4. In “Input Setting – Calculation”, there are two options under “Pressure Calculation”. What is the difference between “API” and “Dodge and Metzner” methods?
The difference of the 2 options is on the critical Reynolds number for power law fluid. API method uses charts to determine critical Reynolds number while Dodge and Metzner method uses a series of equations including the following ones:

• Laminar:
  N_Rec = 3470 - 1370n
• Turbulent:
  N_Rec = 4270 - 1370n

Q5. Why is there an option for a dependency?
These two types of fluids have their own coefficients to adjust Fann Reading data when considering pressure and temperature effects.

  Pegasus Vertex, Inc. has extracted most-used components from our advanced software, CleanMax, and created a handy mobile app CleanMax ^Lite to aid with wellbore cleanup operations. CleanMax ^Lite quickly and accurately calculates fluid volumes, contact times and creates 2D and 3D fluid displacement animations.
