Drilling Simulator 3 using the Driller’s Method Simulator as Remote Choke Control

Simulation:

Student 1: Driller on Drilling Simulator (iPhone version)

Student 2: Choke Control on Driller’s Method Simulator (iPad version)

Drilling Simulator 3

Feature:

Drilling Simulator 3 has an interface with the others apps “Driller’s Method Simulator” and “Wait and Weight Method Simulator”. These apps can be used as a Remote Choke to control the Drilling Simulator 3 when they are running on different devices nearby in the same network by wi-fi.

Comparing BPP vs RPD in MPD Simulator

Comparing BPP vs RPD in Drill Pipe Connections

MPD Simulator for iPhone and iPad

BPP is a auxiliary component of the MPD System to provide flow to maintain Back Pressure during low-flow events or pumps-off events, such as in drill pipe connections.

When the rig mud pump is being ramped down slowly for connection purposes, the back pressure pump is turned on and ramped up when the rig mud pump drops below a set point. Flow by choke varies causing greater pressure variations, requiring more attention from the operators.

RPD is a necessary component of the MPD System to maintain Back Pressure during drill pipe connections using the flow provided by the mud pumps of the rig. The flow by choke does not vary. Pressure variations are smaller.

Drilling Hydraulics 2

for iPhone and iPad

The Drilling Hydraulics provides to driller, tool pushers, engineers, chemists, students and other professionals in the petroleum industry a productivity tool helpful in drilling of oil wells for hydraulics calculations, optimization of the penetration rate and can help on the decision on selection of bit nozzles.

Well Features:

– Well Planning: Onshore or Offshore (riser, casing, liner and open hole). Vertical or Directional Type I.
– Drill string: 2 drill pipes, heavy weight, 2 drill collars, drilling motor and drill bit (w/ until 12 nozzles).
– Volume, capacity, strokes, hydrostatic and drilling hydraulics calculations;

Surface Equipment:

– 04 mud pumps
– Surface connections: standpipe, mud hose, swivel, top drive, kelly, stands
– Choke diameter
– Elevation system weight;

Directional Well:

– This app works with Directional Well Type I and Horizontal, only.
– For other features in directional wells, we recommend the “Directional Drilling Hydraulics” application available in our portfolio in the App Store.

Importing Data Files:

This app imports data files from other apps available in our portfolio on the App Store: “Drilling Simulator 1, 2 and 3”, “Well Control Simulator”, “MPD Simulator”, “Kick Tolerance”, “Leak-Off Test Simulator”, “Kick Game” and “Well Control Methods”

New in version 2.0:

– Added compatibility with Dark Mode (iOS/iPadOS 13 or greater)
– improved the hookload calculation
– bug fixes

iPhone version:

iPad version:

Example performed in App “Drilling Simulator 3” for iPhone and iPad

Directional Well :
MD/TVD: 12000/8015 ft,
Liner Shoe Depth: 6500/6261 ft,
Kill Mud Volume to prepare: 812 bbl

(Note: In this example was considered that all KMW volume was ready to start the Wait and Weight Method)

Driller’s Method Worksheets

App for iPad

New version 2.0 available on the App Store

A Well Control Kill Sheet

This application for iPad uses the worksheets (also named of Kill Sheets) based on IADC standardized worksheets of the driller’s method to control oil wells after the occurrence of kick during drilling operations on floating rigs with subsea stack and rigs with surface stack.

It can be applied on the oilfield and also help in the understanding of the driller’s method of well control.

It is an useful tool to import data files to fill kill sheets from our apps: (Drilling Hydraulics, Drilling Simulator 1, 2 and 3, Kick Game, Kick Tolerance, LOT Simulator, MPD Simulator and Well Control Simulator 1 and 2) available for sale in our portfolio on the App Store.

Kick Tolerance as Max Kick Volume

New version with Dark Mode (iOS 13 or greater)

There are several concepts about kick tolerance, but this article only deals with the concept of kick tolerance as the maximum kick volume.

The our App “Kick Tolerance” for iPhone and iPad provides to drilling engineers, chemists, technicians, students and others professionals in the Oil & Gas industry a productivity tool helpful in drilling operation (well control) and planning phase of oil wells.

Casing Setting

for iPhone and iPad

This app provides the casing shoe depths calculations based on formation pore pressure gradient and fracture pressure gradient using both concepts “bottom-up” and “top-down” and also analysis of the kick effects on the casing setting.

This app was developed based in existent spreadsheets. There is no comparison with any other software.

Our goal was to create an application with the help of experts to share with drilling engineers, technicians, drillers, students and teachers of drilling engineering.

There is no intention to replace the professional softwares.

You can contribute with suggestions for improvements, correcting the translation to english, reporting bugs and spreading it to your friends.

Thanks

New in 2.0 version:

– Compatibility with newer iPhones and iPads

– Compatibility with newer iOS versions and iPadOS

– Compatibility com Dark Mode (iOS 13 or greater)

– Added several improvements

– Minor fixes
