Drilling solutions for challenging wells Modeling wells with diverse and extreme complexity Safe and cost-effective operational procedures

The demand for oil and gas is pushing the industry into increasingly challenging areas. Much of the remaining reserves are located in deep water or deep reservoirs with high or extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

Successful drilling of challenging wells requires indepth understanding of the hydraulics during all phases of the operation. The drilling process is highly dynamic and complicated to model; thus, much of the dynamics have traditionally been neglected. However, with diminishing operational margins, the importance of dynamic effects is growing. Coupled with increasing well construction cost from increasing water depth or total well depth, software tools capable of modeling the dynamics become essential and strategically important.

Module solutions - The Dynamic Hydraulics module include:

Presmod, Hydraulics, Frictionmaster - The Dynamic Well control module: Kick - UBD and MPD dynamic module: Dynaflodrill, Steadyflodrill, Ubitts

DRILLBENCH DYNAMIC HYDRAULICS

Predictor of downhole conditions providing increased awareness and understanding through dynamic consideration of:

ECD management Temperature variations Multiple fluids Tool limitations Gel breaking effects Thermal expansion Pressure build up Surge & swab Managed pressure drilling Dual gradient Torque & drag

Understanding the entire system ensures that wellbore ECD and equivalent static density stays within the operational window defined by the formation pressure and strength. Maximum and minimum values are updated and kept during the simulation, providing an excellent tool for examination of the downhole boundaries making sure that no weak zone of the well is challenged

DRILLBENCH DYNAMIC WELL CONTROL

Realistic multiphase well control simulator providing the best planning and operational support through consideration of: Personnel safety Rig downtime Kick tolerance Maximum pressure loads Free gas breakout depth Water based gas migration Oil based gas dissolution Mud gas separator capacity Horizontal kicks Well kill operations
