‹ Drilling and Well Control
DrillSIM Downhole Model
The DrillSIM downhole model allows operators to develop and run drilling and well control exercises while providing a graphical 3D representation of what is happening downhole. This allows trainees to see and clearly understand the consequences of their actions or equally their in-actions throughout various drilling operations.
Key Capabilities
- Wellbore ballooning and breathing
- Horizontal and deviated wells
- Hole cleaning, turbulent, laminar flow
- Drilling on junk, pipe twist-off, stuck pipe
- Sloughing, differential sticking, key seating, pack-off
- Rock strength and abrasiveness
- Bit washout, bit plugging, bit balling
- Drill string washout
- Fluid flow and pressure loss
- Lost circulation
- Hydrate problems on choke and kill lines
"Their unique combination of high fidelity surface graphics and pipe handling emulation linked to an extremely sophisticated downhole model allows WellTrain to deliver advanced MPD, HPHT and deepwater well control training."
