Recently, the technologies for global modeling of process oil well drilling have become widespread. Mathematical is used in design, virtual testing various equipment, simulations emergency situations, and personnel training. Complex includes simulation such phenomena as dynamics drill string its contact interaction with walls, flow fluid soil (considering influxes leakages), crushing by drill, ...

A gas kick simulation model for deep-water horizontal well with diesel-based drilling fluid is presented in this paper. This model is mainly based on the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations. The unique aspect of this model is the fluid-gas coupling and the change of mud properties after the gas influx from the formation. The simulation results show that the gas in an annulus disso...

Automatic inspection of petroleum well drilling has became paramount in the last years, mainly because of the crucial importance of saving time and operations during the drilling process in order to avoid some problems, such as the collapse of the well borehole walls. In this paper, we extended another work by proposing a fast petroleum well drilling monitoring through a modified version of the...

Cost reduction is a driving force in the development of brownfield wells.1 It is well known that better planning leads to better execution in the drilling phase with less nonproductive time and reduced costs. This paper describes enhanced well planning workflows in light of recent software technological innovations. The technology, which enables this solution for the first time in the industry,...

Information transmission is an important part of the wellbore trajectory automatic control system. Combined with the characteristics of the guided drilling system, drilling fluid pulse is selected as a tool for trajectory control. Negative pulse transmission of drilling fluid is one of the key technologies to realize wellbore trajectory automatic control. In this paper, the working principle of...

Future in-situ lunar/martian resource utilization and characterization, as well as the scientific search for life on Mars, will require access to the subsurface and hence drilling. Drilling on Earth is hard – an art form more than an engineering discipline. The limited mass, energy and manpower in planetary drilling situations makes application of terrestrial drilling techniques problematic. Th...
