- Helps demonstrate effect of surface actions on entire downhole well profile, fully integrating multiple, simultaneous effects
- Calculates and continuously displays pressures at all well depths, thus clarifying critical relationships
- When used to simulate drilling, consequences of complex changes in pore pressure, formation strength, hydraulics, geometry and string movements can be assessed and empirically corrected
- Simulates well conditions with the BOP open or closed
- Optimized data entry
- System includes extensive preloaded rig, tubular and fluids databases
- Default data values permit rapid development of well scenarios, but can be over-written for more refined scenario development
- Batch entry, using copy and paste from Excel files, enables entry of detailed or actual well data to facilitate replication of complex field scenarios
- Simulations are controlled using easily accessed controls located on the main simulator screen
- Well sketch provides continuous display of well geometry
- Well sketch shows scaled diameters and depths
- Sketch updates to display results of transient simulations
- Depth-based graph is linked to the well sketch and displays critical downhole pressures and pressure limits using equivalent density units
- User-defined time-based logs can be used to record progress of simulations and identify relevant operational events
- Real-time Kick Tolerance Analysis
- Automated sequence controls enable simulation of drilling, tripping, and fluid displacement processes without specialized skills
- Fully transient simulations make it easy to “drill the well on the simulator”
- Simulation data is automatically recorded for easy play back and can be optionally saved for later reference
- Optimized mathematical models allows for fast simulation of complex well scenarios
