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

Drilling Simulator 3 – New Version 2.0 – iPhone version

Drilling Simulator 3

designed for both iPhone and iPad

New Version 2.0 now available on the App Store !!!

Drilling Simulator 1:

– Drilling on vertical well, kick detection, shut-in, stabilisation of pressures (sidpp, sicp, kick volume), save to iCloud to import from other app “Well Control Simulator”.

Drilling Simulator 2:

all of drilling simulator 1 PLUS Direcional and horizontal wells, well control using 01 choke and 01 single kick bubble on borehole and graphical analysis.

Drilling Simulator 3 (This App)

all of drilling simulator 2 PLUS:

1 – until 03 single kick bubbles on the borehole simultaneously

2 – standpipe manifold and choke manifold with 02 chokes and straight through

3 – Complications: failures schedule with Random option:

– Mud Pumps 1 and 2 “power end failure” or “fluid end failure”,

– Chokes 1 and 2 “plugged” or “washed”,

– One Drill Bit Nozzle “plugged” or “washed”

New in the next update (version 2.0 – Coming soon):

– Improved circulation options with subsea valves upper kill & lower kill & upper choke

– On subsea wells, now it is possible to circulate kill mud in the kill line & riser after filling choke line with kill mud weight, keeping bop closed.

– On surface wells, added upper kill line, upper choke and a check valve in kill line

– improved visual of the gauges.

Directional Drilling for iPad and iPhone Now with Survey Interpolations

Directional Drilling

for iPad and iPhone

New in version 1.3:

– Added Survey Interpolations

– Shows 3D Interpolation Parameters in Vertical Section Graphs

dd_13_01

User Guide for iPad

User Guide for iPhone

The Directional Drilling Survey provides the control of directional drilling of oil wells with calculations and plotting of well planning and survey data in vertical section, plan and x-y-z views, calculations between two survey stations, easy tools to 2D and 3D wells and plot multilateral wells.

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

Our goal was to create a very low-cost 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.

Casing Setting – A new app for iPhone and iPad

Casing Setting

for iPhone and iPad

version 1.0

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.
