The Volumetric Method

The Volumetric Method

This post shows both steps of the volumetric method (1-wait for migration and bleed and 2-Lubricate and Bleed).

Apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac (M series) to practice these methods

This application uses the basic calculations of the Volumetric Method to control oil wells after the occurrence of kick during drilling operations on landing rigs (Onshore).

It is can be applied on the oilfield and also can help in the understanding of the Volumetric Method of well control.

Volumetric Method Simulator

This is a basic well control simulator for training in Oil & Gas that simulates the control applying the Volumetric Method (and Lubricate and Bleed Method) after the kick detection during stripping out the drillstring on the drilling operations in the oil well.

This is a project also based on app “Kick Game 2” available in our portfolio like the Driller’s Method Simulator and Wait and Weight Method Simulator. Like these apps, just surface parameters are displayed.

Features:

1. Interface based on Hydraulic Choke Panel.
2. Graph in full screen (with background color in black or white) for analysis.
3. Pre-recorded data sheet
4. Well Design with Casing + Open Hole without the Drillstring in the Wellbore.
6. Full features version with pause and digital gauges.
7. Method with Step by Step procedure to turn the exercise easy to practice.

These apps are available in our portfolio.

Volumetric Method Simulator

Well Control

New App for iPhone and iPad

We develop this new app for iPhone and iPad by suggestions of users and well control schools !

This is a new project also based on app “Kick Game 2” available in our portfolio like the Driller’s Method Simulator and Wait and Weight Method Simulator. Like these apps only surface parameters are displayed.

Dynamic Lubricate and Bleed using Drilling Simulator 3

New Apps for Well Control in Workover Operations

In development for iPod, iPhone and iPad

(early 2018 on the App Store)

Workover Simulator

This application provides well control simulations on production wells in workover operations with coiled tubing and slickline on landing rigs for training in Oil & Gas.

A surface production well (vertical or directional) is used to practice basic operations like moving the coiled tubing into the tubing string and circulating a lesser density fluid, with density smaller that the formation equivalent density, to put the well in flow (underbalance condition) to well control practices: hydraulics calculations, swabbing (on tripping out) and control methods including static volumetric (lubricate and bleed) and bullheading.

Slickline Simulator

This application provides well simulation on production wells in workover operations with slickline on landing rigs for training in Oil & Gas.

A surface production well (vertical or directional) is used to practice basic operations like moving the slickline into the tubing string with tools to install and to retrieve specific plugs.

These plugs are installed and retrieved in two trips using slickline.

Coiled Tubing Simulator

This application provides well control simulations on production wells in workover operations with coiled tubing on landing rigs for training in Oil & Gas.

A surface production well (vertical or directional) is used to practice basic operations like moving the coiled tubing into the tubing string and circulating a lesser density fluid, with density smaller that the formation equivalent density, to put the well in flow (underbalance condition) to well control practices: volumes and hydraulics calculations, swabbing (on tripping out), etc.

Kick Tolerance as Max Kick Volume – Free version!

Kick Tolerance (Lite)

A free version for both iPhone and iPad!

This app is applied on oil wells (drilling operations) and it provides the Kick Tolerance as maximum kick volume concept.

This is a limited version using the drill string just drill pipe and drill collar to help in the understanding of this kick tolerance concept. It is an useful tool for students on the well control schools, drilling engineering universities, etc.

For more features like maximum pore pressure concept, graphical analysis, choke line effects on deepwater, directional and horizontal wells, drill string w/ 5 sections, temperature gradient effects, data files, etc, check the full version available for sale on the our portfolio.

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

iPhone version
