About HYDPRO
Whether you are drilling a vertical or extended-reach well, an equivalent circulating density (ECD) that is too low or too high can cause serious drilling problems or compromise your project’s budget. A successful drilling operation relies heavily on achieving an optimal ECD. Accurate modeling and optimized drilling hydraulics is crucial. It allows engineers to plan ahead, thus improving drilling efficiencies, reducing risk, and decreasing non-productive time (NPT). Pegasus Vertex's HYDPRO is a comprehensive drilling hydraulics model that covers all aspects of hydraulics, including downhole circulating pressures, surge and swab, ECD, bit optimization, hole cleaning, and volumetric displacements. With these features, downhole drilling hydraulic conditions can be fully examined and any potential problems can be identified prior to field execution.

Autodriller Pro Control System
Helmerich & Payne's Autodriller Pro Control System is an advanced drawworks control technology designed to enhance drilling performance by smoothly managing block velocity and regulating inputs from differential pressure, torque, and weight on bit (WOB). This system seamlessly transitions between WOB and differential pressure controls, maintaining consistent bit engagement without the need for manual gain adjustments. By automatically adjusting to the most critical parameter in real-time, Autodriller Pro reduces axial oscillations, leading to higher rates of penetration (ROP) and improved reliability of bits and downhole tools. Field implementations have demonstrated significant performance improvements, including increased ROP and reduced drilling time, contributing to lower fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

UBDPRO
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), including Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) technology, precisely controls the annular fluid pressure profile within a wellbore, which allows drilling of what might otherwise be economically unattainable prospects. Managed pressure drilling is often performed with the primary motivation of reducing formation damage. Therefore, increasing production and aerated fluid is commonly employed in the drilling process. In hard rock applications, managed pressure drilling is often performed with the primary motivation of increasing ROP (rate of penetration). Here air/mist drilling fluids are commonly employed. UBDPRO models the complex hydraulics for compressible fluids including air, mist, foam and 2-phase fluids. The advanced software model can be used to optimize gas and liquid injection rates in order to control bottomhole pressure.

MiVu
MiVu™ is a software package designed to perform microseismic monitoring during hydraulic fracturing for both downhole geophone arrays and surface geophone arrays. MiVu™ offers capabilities for building simple and complex geologic models interactively, designing optimal microseismic monitoring geometry, processing data with user-defined workflows, imaging event locations with multiple techniques, visualizing and interpreting microseismic events in 3D. Multiple event location techniques are offered such as 3D grid search, 3D migration, and cross double difference to provide insight on how different geophysical methodologies effect the location of the microseismic event. Understanding the strength and weakness of each methodology will provide a better understanding of the accuracy of the event.

DEPRO is a comprehensive torque, drag, and hydraulics program. Using this software, users can reduce many of the risks encountered in drilling and completion operations. DEPRO predicts the limits in the length of a horizontal well based on specific friction factors, recommends rig specifications, and evaluates the required weight to set a packer. For hydraulics, DEPRO covers downhole circulating pressures, surge and swab, equivalent circulation densities (ECD), bit optimization, hole cleaning, and volumetric displacements. Using DEPRO, downhole drilling hydraulic conditions can be fully examined and any potential problems can be identified prior to field execution. Torque, drag, and stress calculation. Soft and stiff string models. Drilling, back reaming, rotation off the bottom, tripping in and tripping out operations. Sinusoidal and helical buckling prediction. Field data comparison on workload and surface torque. Friction factor sensitivity analysis. Packer setting analysis.
