Design of drilling fluid in less than 40 hours
MUDSIM software shortens drilling fluid design time by using experience data from a cloud-based system. At the sime time also reducing the environmental impact and risk for downtime and surprises when drilling.
MUDSIM improves interaction and increases efficiency in a newly developed process for selecting the optimal and most environmentally friendly drilling fluid. It does so by utilizing historical data from fluids in equivalent drilling formations, combining it with collection, consideration and calculation of various fluid properties. This makes it possible to collect data and calculate without exporting data between various systems. Combining several engineer calculations in one software tool will simplify assessment of drilling fluid properties, impacting such as:
- Environmental impact
- Equivalent Circular Density (ECD)
- Hole cleaning efficiency
- Rate of penetration (ROP)
- Drilling fluid consumption
- Waste handling
- Lost circulation
- Hole stability
The result is a significantly improved working process for planning of drilling fluid design. Moreover, it will improve communication between fluid suppliers and all involved disciplines at the field operator.
