Circulating Temperature & HPHT fluid properties
Results are presented in fully customisable plots, tables and 3D view in any combination of units.
Import and export of data to Excel and MS Office is available. Rapidly generate output to PDF is in pre-defined reports.
User interface and reports are fully translated into Spanish and Russian. Other languages available on request.
Features
Torque & Drag
S-Drill's Torque and Drag model allows users to analyse tension, torque, stress and buckling of drilling, casing and completion assemblies including the influence of hydraulics forces.
Hydraulics
S-Drill's integrated Hydraulics model calculates pressure losses, velocities, equivalent circulating density and hole cleaning parameters. Calculate circulating temperatures and downhole fluid properties for HPHT wells. Analyse Swab & Surge pressures.

Cementing
Run the simulation in Multi-Fluid Dynamic mode to analyse fluid displacement activities such as cementing, wash trains and sweeps.
Centralizer Placement
Calculate the optimum centraliser spacing required to achieve a desired stand-off.
Centraliser placement results showing required spacing to achieve stand-off.
Well Programme
Keep track of well control equipment status, rig activities, costs and drilling progress and produce well design and drilling montages.

Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis module provides a number of tools to support drilling optimisation. It runs a full simulation with varying parameters to produce a range of results. Incorporate drilling data to calibrate and compare with modelled values to help identify drilling issues such as poor hole cleaning and differential sticking.

Casing Design
S-Drill's Casing Design module performs casing stress analysis according to API 5C3 / ISO 10400 standards. Perform Bi-Axial, Tri-Axial or Uniaxial analysis. Account for thermal effects using inbuilt circulating and production temperature models.
A library of fully customisable Load Cases is available.
S-Drill’s sophisticated assembly modelling allows for definition and casing and tubing strings from a catalogue of common diameters. Couplings and connections are modelled separately.
The Casing Design module also includes a Minimum Cost Design calculation to design a casing string according to the minimum allowable grade or wall thickness.
A Sour Service selector allow selection of appropriate grades according to the to the concentration of H2S and CO2
