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)

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 – 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.

Wait and Weight Method 2.0 for iPhone and iPad

Wait and Weight Method

for iPhone and iPad

now available n on the App Store

W_and_W_1024

Available_on_the_App_Store_Badge_US_UK_135x40_0824

new version 2.0 

– support for directional 2D wells

– compatibility with iPhone X

– several improvements

———

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

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

It is can be applied on the field and also help in the understanding of the Wait and Weight method of well control.
