    For ensuring casing and cementing quality, mud cake removal is essential. Various problems like stuck pipe take place because of the presence of mud cake. Mechanical methods of water jetting and chemical methods by means of acids, oxidizers, chelating agents, etc., are currently employed for mud cake removal. However, water jetting can cause water blockage problems and has detrimental effects on well productivity. Also, mud cakes of different permeability will not be removed by same intensity water jets. Acids and oxidizers are very reactive but nonspecific species, imposing several post perforation problems and formation damage. As an alternative, we propose a new method in this study with the usage of nanobots and laser grinding. The nanobots, placed in carrier, can be deployed in all directions into the targeted zone. These non-adherent and self-propelled nanobots will move through.. View More»
