Now available updates for Apps for Mac OS X: Drilling Hydraulics, Well Control and Kick Tolerance – Alert is a option now

Apps for Mac OS X on the Mac App Store.

Drilling Hydraulics 1.4  Well Control Methods 1.4  Kick Tolerance 1.2 
DH_150x150.png WC3_150x150.png KT3_150_150.png

New in this update:

1. Fixed bug when editing diameters of drillstring;
2. Fixed units of TVD on Oilfield1;
3. Added Option: [X] Alert for invalid values after [enter] key.

This application works as a simulator, where you can move the drill string up/down and do the positioning of the depth of the kick. For this, you must configure the well and the drill string with valid values for the modeling.

Example of invalid values​​:

– Bit depth > well depth;
– Casing shoe > well depth;
– ID >= OD;
– Riser depth > casing shoe;

Screenshots of Coiled Tubing Simulator to Wellcon

Some apps what I am developing for iOS (iPhone, iPad) and MAC OS X are parts of code of a drilling simulator what I have developed for 23 years for MSDOS and currently for Windows 7 to the Wellcon – Well Control School in Brazil (http://www.wellcon.com.br).

This simulator has a coiled tubing simulator for training in well control at workover operations (basic operations, hydraulics, pumping multi fluids, production).

Well Control Methods for Mac OS X (Lion Version)

WC3_Logo.png

Mac App Store

The Well Control for Mac provides to drillers, tool pushers, engineers, chemists, students and other professionals in Oil & Gas industry a productivity tool helpful in drilling of oil wells the understanding the methods of well control.

This application uses the basic calculations of the methods to control oil wells after the occurrence of kick during drilling operations on floating platforms and landing rigs.

Well Control Methods: 

1. Driller’s Method
2. Wait and Weight
3. Static Volumetric: Migration;
4. Static Volumetric: Lubricate and Bleed (Top Kill)
5. Dynamic Volumetric

New in this update:
Unit Systems Options: METRIC, SI, Oilfield 1 (Imperial), Oilfield 2

Kick Tolerance for iPhone and iPod Touch, 2.2.1, now available on the iTunes App Store

Kick Tolerance for iPhone and iPod Touch

KT1_221_01.jpg

On iTunes App Store

New in this version:
1. Option to select unit systems: METRIC, SI, Imperial and OilField 2;
2. Bugs Fixes: Editing well and casing shoe TVD and bit depth.

Description

The Kick Tolerance provides the drilling engineers, chemists, students and other professionals in the petroleum industry a productivity tool helpful in drilling operation (well control) and planning phase of oil wells.

This application deals with two concepts:

1- Kick Tolerance as Maximum Pore Equivalent Weight;
2- Kick Tolerance as Maximum Kick Volume.

Both with graphical analyses.

Kick Tolerance for iPad, release 2.2.1, now available on the iTunes App Store

Kick Tolerance for iPad, release 2.2.1

KTolerance_170x170_75.png

On the iTunes App Store

New in this version:
1. Option to select unit systems: METRIC, SI, Imperial and OilField 2;
2. Bugs Fixes: Editing well and casing shoe TVD and bit depth.

The Kick Tolerance 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.

This version is completely interactive and allows users to define a wide variety of parameters for oil wells, save data to files.

This application deals with two concepts:

1- Kick Tolerance as Maximum Pore Equivalent Weight;
2- Kick Tolerance as Maximum Kick Volume.

Both with graphical analyzes.

For both the concepts, the calculations uses the Fracture Gradient defined in “Well Configuration -> Gradients” views.

1. For KT as Maximum Pore Equiv Weight

– Plot KT x Maximum Kick Volume

KT (Maximum Pore Equiv Weight) = mudWeight + (casingShoe/wellDepth) * (Fract Equiv Weight – mudWeight) – (KickLength/wellDepth) * (mudWeight – kickDensity);

=> Known the Maximum Kick Volume, find the KT as the Maximum Pore Gradient;

2. For KT as Maximum Pit Gain Volume:

Plot KI = the difference ( Pore Equiv Weight – Mud Weight ) versus Maximum Kick Volume (Pit Gain)

KI (Pore Equiv Weight – Mud Weight)
= (casingShoe/wellDepth) * (Fract Equiv Weight – mudWeight) – (KickLength/wellDepth) * (mudWeight – kickDensity);

=> Known the difference (Pore Equiv Weight – Mud Weight), find the Kick Tolerance as Maximum Kick Volume.

Calculation of the Kick Tolerance by this App:

1. Hmax below the casing shoe = (MaxSICP – SIDPP) / (0.052 x (ρmud-ρkick));
– MaxSICP = 0.052 x (ρfracture – ρmud) x CasingShoeTVD
– SIDPP = 0.052 x KI x Well TVD
2. Calculate V1 = Maximum Volume annulus bellow the casing shoe;
3. Calculate V2 at bottom = (V1 x Pfracture) / Ppore;
4. Calculate V3 = Volume annulus at bottom using Hmax;

The kick tolerance is the smaller of the two volumes between V2 and V3.
This KT is showed in the Graph: KI versus KT Volume.
