![]() ![]() ![]() With these features, downhole drilling hydraulic conditions can be fully examined and any potential problems can be identified prior to field execution. ![]() PVI's HYDPRO is a comprehensive drilling hydraulics model that covers all aspects of hydraulics, including downhole circulating pressures, surge and swab, ECD, bit optimization, hole cleaning, and volumetric displacements. It allows engineers to plan ahead, thus improving drilling efficiencies, reducing risk, and decreasing non-productive time (NPT). A hydraulic drilling rig uses hydraulic cylinders to provide hoisting and snubbing capability when needed. Accurate pressure drop estimation is important for drill string and bit nozzles design and optimized fluid circulations as well as identifying the drilling. Accurate modeling and optimized drilling hydraulics is crucial. Optimization of drilling hydraulics requires calculation of frictional pressure losses in the system and calculation of the minimum fluid velocity to carry the. A successful drilling operation relies heavily on achieving an optimal ECD. Whether you are drilling a vertical or extended-reach well, an equivalent circulating density (ECD) that is too low or too high can cause serious drilling problems or compromise your project’s budget. ![]()
