New Apps for Well Control in Workover Operations

In development for iPod, iPhone and iPad

(early 2018 on the App Store)

Workover Simulator

This application provides well control simulations on production wells in workover operations with coiled tubing and slickline on landing rigs for training in Oil & Gas.

A surface production well (vertical or directional) is used to practice basic operations like moving the coiled tubing into the tubing string and circulating a lesser density fluid, with density smaller that the formation equivalent density, to put the well in flow (underbalance condition) to well control practices: hydraulics calculations, swabbing (on tripping out) and control methods including static volumetric (lubricate and bleed) and bullheading.

Slickline Simulator

This application provides well simulation on production wells in workover operations with slickline on landing rigs for training in Oil & Gas.

A surface production well (vertical or directional) is used to practice basic operations like moving the slickline into the tubing string with tools to install and to retrieve specific plugs.

These plugs are installed and retrieved in two trips using slickline.

Coiled Tubing Simulator

This application provides well control simulations on production wells in workover operations with coiled tubing on landing rigs for training in Oil & Gas.

A surface production well (vertical or directional) is used to practice basic operations like moving the coiled tubing into the tubing string and circulating a lesser density fluid, with density smaller that the formation equivalent density, to put the well in flow (underbalance condition) to well control practices: volumes and hydraulics calculations, swabbing (on tripping out), etc.
