... was to develop a fast, flexible optimization model that recommends well status, lift gas rates, and water injection rates. The model uses field data and data generated by the previous surface models to develop the hydraulic models as well as current facility conditions and constraints. The model contains four...

..., increases the risk of missing or misinterpreting a well balance event. This paper proposes a real-time high-fidelity hydraulics model that covers these transient phenomena. Current real-time hydraulics modeling solutions are useful when there is circulation at a constant rate, but all well construction...

..., and mobilizing equipment to perform foam operations can be expensive. The primary objective of this work is to demonstrate how a foam hydraulics model can be used to determine the feasibility of performing a foam operation for a given well and to maximize sand cleanout rate in wells where feasible. Foam...

... window. This paper presents the successful implementation of a sophisticated hydraulic model during planning and execution of a MPD operation in Gullfaks Well A-10B. MPD service was delivered by a major service company with equipment coupled to a third-party real-time advanced transient hydraulic model...
