Sanntids reologi og hydraulisk modellering av borevæske for sikrere og mer effektive operasjoner

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

With this project, we aim to help the drilling industry better understand and control how drilling fluids behave during operations, through developing a continuous, real-time measurement and modelling system that can capture complex fluid behaviors such as thixotropy and gel strength under realistic temperature and pressure conditions. This system will integrate in-line pipe rheometer measurements with laboratory calibration, advanced parameter estimation, and a thixotropy-enabled hydraulic model. By doing so, we will predict wellbore pressure changes with higher accuracy, respond faster to variations, and enable safer drilling, fewer delays, reduced costs, and more efficient use of resources.
