SurgeMOD - Complete surge and swab hydraulics model

  SurgeMOD accurately predicts surge and swab pressures for running casing or making a trip in deep-water wells or wells with narrow annular clearance. It takes into account of efforts of total flow area of auto-fill float equipment and/or the presence of circulation sub. It also calculates the optimum speed for whole tripping operation.

Technical features:

     Effects of different pipe end conditions:
      (1) Closed
      (2) Open
      (3) Open with auto fill float equipment or bit
      (4) with circulation sub
     Optimal trip speeds at different trip depths
     Surge/swab pressures for given running speed
     Surge/swab pressures vs. different pipe moving peed at any depth
     Handles very tight annular tolerance
     Handles pressure drop across float shoe
     Allows for Bingham plastic or power law fluids
     Model selection based on viscometer readings
     Allowable flow rate after the casing is set
     Tripping animation
     Exports results into MS Word document
     Allows oil field, SI and customized units
     Equipped with a handy unit conversion utility
