Well Control Simulator for Wild Well Control

Case Study

Wild Well Control required a safe, configurable environment to train workers to react and respond to hazardous well control scenarios.

Situation Analysis

• Well kill sheets were filled out manually by engineers onsite
• Miscalculations could lead to dangerous well control failures
• Manual calculations were time-consuming and prone to human error
• Needed to digitize calculations to minimize mistakes
• Required easy access to calculations at well sites

Solution

• Developed a mobile kill sheet app for tablets and smartphones
• Incorporated advanced engineering models for automated calculations
• Allowed input of well parameters for real-time kill sheet generation
• Provided different kill sheet methods based on well conditions
• Built in validation checks and alerts for dangerous values

Technology

• iOS and Android mobile app development with React Native
• Complex well control mathematics and engineering models
• Cloud integration for data storage and retrieval
• Offline mode for reliability in remote areas

Business Impact

• Reduced risk from human calculation errors
• Increased well control operation efficiency
• Empowered engineers with fast access to calculations
• Standardized well kill sheet process across all sites
• Provided auditable digital kill sheet records
