Abstract:The present study aims to propose a methodology to treat probabilistically the prediction of well bottom pressures during drilling, circulation and tripping operations. The pressure generated by the fluid is the primary safety barrier and its failure can immediately initiate gains and losses events in the well, with a direct impact on the safety of the process.
Two models were considered in the study: a two-phase flow model commonly used to predict hole cleaning and downhole pressures while dril… Show more
