DISPLEX^TM - Completion fluid displacement (for operators only)

Drilling mud displacement has become a critical step in the well construction process for high rate, high productivity wells.

DISPLEX software, developed by PVI and Baker Hughes Drilling Fluids, models the drilling, completion, and spacer fluids for land through deepwater drilling operations. Many potential problems can be identified before the pumping starts, and appropriate modifications can be made.

Flow dynamics of fluid displacement in 3D wells.
Land and deep water applications
Forward or reverse circulation.
Simulate circulation sub and flow by-pass.
ECDs / Pressures at various depths vs. time.
Required flow rate for turbulence
"Snap shot"of hydrostatic/total pressure profile with pore / frac
   gradients (wellbore integrity).
Choke pressure can be manually applied, computer calculated to avoid
   u-tubing or to maintain downhole pressure for well control purposes.
Handles up to 10 fluids, each pumped at 5 rates.
