Well Control Methods for iPad 2.1.1

On App Store

New in this update:

1. Bugs fixed:

– Can not remove data file from list;

– Issues when DC1 Length=0 and DC2 Length>0;

2. Kick-Off Point (KOP) parameter Included for Kick Tolerance Calculations in Directional Wells (Slant Type);

3. Included option to calculate strokes or manual input;

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 land rigs.

This app is completely interactive and allows users to define a wide variety of parameters for oil wells and unit system, save data and more.

It is can be applied in the oilfield of petroleum and also help in understanding the methods of well control.

Well Control Methods:

1. Driller’s Method

2. Wait and Weight

3. Dynamic Volumetric

4. Static Volumetric – Migration / Bleed

5. Static Volumetric – Lubricate / Bleed
