Drilling Simulator 3

This app simulates oil and gas drilling operations, focusing on well control procedures. It allows users to practice kick detection, well shut-in, pressure stabilization, and choke operations with various well configurations and failure scenarios.

Highlights
  • Kick detection and well shut-in simulation
  • Choke panel operations with remote chokes
  • Multiple kick scenarios
  • Directional and horizontal well support
  • Failure schedule with random options
  • Subsea and surface BOP simulation
  • Swabbing effect simulation

Read full description

This is a project for Drilling and Well Control optimized for iPhones and iPads. This is a basic drilling simulator that simulates drilling operations based in panels for kick detection, shut-in the well, stabilization of pressures and the choke operations during the well control operations using a hydraulic choke panel simulator. Features: 1. Drilling, kick detection, shut-in, pressures stabilization and control 2. MULTIPLE KICKS (3 SINGLE BUBBLES)  3. DIRECTIONAL/HORIZONTAL WELL  4. WELL CONTROL ON CHOKE PANEL WITH 2 REMOTE CHOKES 5. Standpipe Manifold and Choke Manifold 6. FLOAT VALVE,  7. GESTURE SWAIPE UP/DOWN TO MOVE DRILLSTRING  8. 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”) 9. Set a KICK without drilling required. 10. Subsea Stack BOP and Surface Stack BOP Additional features:   1. Optionally it is possible to use others apps as Remote Choke like "Driller's Method Simulator" and "Wait and Weight Simulator". Both are available for sale in our Portfolio. 2. Swabbing effect simulation This effect occur when the drill string is pulled out of the wellbore to reduce the bottom hole pressure enough to create an underbalance condition and to cause a flow from formation into the wellbore. This effect is performed on this Simulator by moving the finger up in the well layout on the screen. iPad version: 1. Pre-recorded data view 2. Screen layout optimized for 12.9-inch iPad Pro (High Resolution) 3. Three codes (default "0000" for all: admin, instructor, student) to view the gas into the borehole, the pressure at bottom, at shoe and at bop and to enable / disable the Lag Time (by adjusting the choke to change the kill pressure and drill pipe pressure, etc). 4. Use the arrow keys on keyboard for iPad Pro to operate the choke. iPhone version: 1. Pre-recorded data available in the well configuration views. 2. Screen layout optimized for iPhone and iPad Pro (High Resolution) 3. All features available without codes. A graphical very useful tool for training, drillers, toolpusher, drilling engineers, mud engineers and students in the well control procedures. - Well configuration, drilling, kick detection, shut-in and control. - Interactive system: no pre-set methods; - Ability to apply control methods: Driller's method, Wait and Weight method (or Engineer's method), dynamic volumetric and static volumetric (lubricate and bleed); - Hydraulics and Hydrostatics; - Behavior of the kick (until 3 single kick bubbles simultaneously in borehole); - Applied with subsea stack or surface stack; - Set well with until 4 sections: riser, casing, liner, open hole ; - Set Drill String with drill pipe1, drill pipe2, heavy weight, drill collar1, drill collar2 - Support for horizontal and directional wells (builder and plotter) - Bop flow meter (volume to close and to open bop) - Gas compressibility factor (Z) calculations using formulas more accurately by Hall and Yarborough (1973) - Option to select a more didactic choke control mode instead of a more realistic simulation (default) Others apps available on our portfolio that may be useful for you: - Drilling Hydraulics - Kick Tolerance - Leak-Off Test Simulator - Leak-Off Test Analyzer - MPD Simulator - Well Control Methods - Well Control Worksheets - Well Control Simulators specific for each method (Driller's Method, Wait and Weight and Volumetric) These tools can complement (work with) this simulator by creating files which can be used in this application; and more Oil & Gas in our website.

Learn Petroleum Engineering is a professional app to Learning Petroleum Engineering which to helps people to understand the working Petroleum of machines. Learn Petroleum Engineering is designed for you as well research by professional engineers. It almost all topics of Petroleum Engineering are the clear in the app. Learn Petroleum Engineering are the oil and gas industry's two main subsurface disciplines, which focus on maximizing economic recovery of hydrocarbons from subsurface reservoirs. Petroleum Geology and geophysics focus on provision of a static description of the hydrocarbon reservoir rock. The while Petroleum Engineering focuses on estimation of the recoverable volume of this resource using a detailed understanding of the physical behaviour of oil, water and gas within porous rock at very high pressure. Petroleum Engineers help find oil and gas for the country's energy needs. Petroleum engineers design and develop methods for extracting oil and gas from deposits below the Earth's surface. Petroleum Engineers also find new ways to extract oil and gas from older wells. Topics - Introduction. - Introduction To Petroleum Engineering. - Review Of Rock And Fluid Properties. - The General Material Balance Equation. - Single-Phase Gas Reservoirs. - Gas-Condensate Reservoirs. - Undersaturated Oil Reservoirs. - Saturated Oil Reservoirs. - Single-Phase Fluid Flow In Reservoirs. - Water Influx. - The Displacement Of Oil And Gas. - Enhanced Oil Recovery. - The Role Of Petroleum Production Engineering. - Production From Undersaturated Oil Reservoirs. - Production From Two-Phase Reservoirs. - Production From Natural Gas Reservoirs. - Production From Horizontal Wells. - The Near-Wellbore Condition And Damage Characterization. - Wellbore Flow Performance. - Sand Management. - Sandstone Acidizing Design. Why Learn Petroleum Engineering Petroleum engineers locate, recover, and maintain the world's oil and gas supplies. They make the exploration, drilling, and production processes safer and efficient for people, communities, wildlife, and the environment and help keep the fuel prices affordable. What is Petroleum Engineering Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of Hydrocarbons, which can be either crude oil or natural gas. Exploration and production are deemed to fall within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry.
