Prediction of frictional pressure loss for multiphase flow in inclined annuli during Underbalanced Drilling operations

In Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) method, it is difficult to predict the equivalent circulation density due to co-existence of three phases which are air, cuttings and drilling fluid. This study presents the application of a developed model inspired from a novel intelligent algorithm namely radial bas...
