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)

Kick Tolerance as Maximum Kick Volume

New app for Complex Wells – 3D Directional

for iPhone and iPad 

dd_kicktol_1024
Available_on_the_App_Store_Badge_US_UK_135x40_0824

A useful tool for Oil & Gas students and professionals to calculate the Kick Tolerance on vertical and 3D directional wells. It provides a 3D well planning creation tool.

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

This application deals the concept: 

– Kick Tolerance as Maximum Kick Volume. 

The Kick Tolerance calculations as maximum kick volume can be applied on vertical and 3D directional wells.

It provides a 3D well planning creation tool like our app “Directional Drilling”.

Compatibility with high resolutions screens of iPad Pro 12.9 inches and iPhone XS Max.

Riser Safety Margin

New app – It’s FREE !

for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Riser_Safety_Margin_4
Available_on_the_App_Store_Badge_US_UK_135x40_0824

This app is a tool for application on deepwater drilling operations (Oil & Gas).

The slight increase in mud weight needed to offset the loss in hydrostatic pressure at bottom of the borehole when the riser is disconnected from the bop (emergency disconnection) and the hydrostatic pressure of the mud to the mud line into the drilling riser is replaced by the hydrostatic of the column of sea water.

Emergency disconnection can occur in blackout condition, failure of the dynamic positioning system, etc on drillship or semi-submersible platform.

It’s for iOS only

(iPhone, iPad and iPod touch)

Available on the App Store !

Drilling Simulator 3 Lite

A Drilling Simulator 3 Lite version

designed for both iPhone and iPad

DS3_Lite_Icon
Available_on_the_App_Store_Badge_US_UK_135x40_0824

Drilling Simulator 3  (full version)

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”

Drilling Simulator 3 LITE (This App)

all of drilling simulator 3 for 20 minutes of simulation: 

This is a Lite version of the “Drilling Simulator 3” with full features for 20 minutes. This time is sufficient in this simulator for drilling until kick detection, shut-in the well, stabilization of pressures and to start the well circulation using a hydraulic choke panel to control.

Attention: Some features are disabled by default.

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 !!!

ds3_20_01

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.
