## What is 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.
