Successfully drilling challenging wells requires an in-depth understanding of the hydraulics during all phases of the operation. The drilling process is highly dynamic and complicated to model; thus, much of the dynamics have traditionally been neglected. However, with diminishing operational margins, the impact of dynamic effects is growing. Coupled with increasing well construction costs, modeling the dynamics becomes essential and strategically important. Olga and Drillbench... These software packages are considered to be the industry standard in the evaluation of multi-phase flow dynamics in a wellbore.

Welcome to the 5000.18.0 release of Engineer's Desktop™ (EDT™) software. The Windows-based Engineer’s Desktop software enables the Drilling & Completions applications—Well Engineering, Tubular Design, and Well Data Management—to run on a shared data model.

DynaView Software platform designed for monitoring drilling operations, incorporating the algorithmic sophistication demanded by more challenging drilling environments and special procedures for extended reach drilling operations, mixed lithology pore pressure and fracture gradient environments, and a user programming feature that incorporates all of the functionality of modern programming languages are among the highlights of this new tool.

The tubular design and analysis system (TDAS) offers high-performance casing and tubing design and analysis. Its primary purpose is to determine the stresses, forces, movements, and design factors that occur as a result of the applied load conditions on tubular strings. Based on these calculations the program can propose a minimum-cost string for a given well based on the input constraints (design criteria, hole size, installed condition, and load cases).
