| GEOLOG is the only Mud Logging contractor offering Hydraulics, Surge & Swab and Kick Control in REAL TIME to assist the Driller to optimize drilling efficiency and improve safety |
| EQUIPMENT for REAL TIME DRILLING ENGINEERING PACKAGES | |
- All three Engineering Programs are part of the Standard Data Acquisition software
- They are available at ALL times on the Company Man workstation, the Toolpusher workstation and to the Driller on the Eexd
- Rig Floor Monitor

Real Time HYDRAULICS – Pressure Losses Screen Display
- Real Time computation of
- Pressure losses in the BHA
- ECD (Equivalent Circulating Density)
- The Driller knows at any time
- Pore gradient, fracture gradient and ECD
- Safety margin (ECD versus pore /gradient pressures)
- Report available to Driller at any time
- The Driller or Company Man can do a simulation at any time: what if the nozzles or the mud weight or the mud properties are changed
- The software uses three rheological models (Bingham, Power Law and Herschel & Bulkley)
- It gives the Driller the tool to optimize bit hydraulics

| Real time SURGE & SWAB – Screen display
- Real time computation of
- Pressure losses in the BHA
- ECD Equivalent Circulating Density
- Safe POH pipe velocity
- Safe RIH pipe velocity
- The Driller knows at any time
- Pore gradient and fracture gradient
- ECD
- Safety margin (ECD versus pore /gradient pressures)
- Safe POH and RIH pipe velocity to avoid surge/swab
- Report available to Driller at any time
- The Driller can do a simulation, at any time he wants
|
 | Real Time KICK CONTROL allows in case of a kick
the immediate computation of:
- The formation pore pressure
- The fluid influx height in the string
- The nature of the fluid influx
- The new mud density needed to kill the kick
- The amount of barite needed
- The circulating pressures and the time needed
- to prevent any further fluid entry
- to safely circulate the fuid influx out of the annulus with real time monitoring
- to replace the contaminated mud by a new mud
|
Additional Real Time KICK CONTROL features- Performs an automatic data verticalization
- Allows an automatic compilation of the pre-kick data sheet
- Uses the “Wait & Weight” and/or the Drillers methods
- Allows the monitoring of the kill procedure in real time
