Well Control on Delfi™ is a cutting-edge cloud-based solution that facilitates multiphase well control simulations. Harnessing the power of cloud computing and parallelization significantly enhances performance, data management, and collaboration.  

This innovative solution builds upon the robust foundation of Drillbench™ dynamic drilling simulation software and integrates capabilities from the Olga™ dynamic multiphase flow simulator. The inclusion of the Olga simulator engine enables the software to manage advanced evaluations, such as transient temperature impacts and superior PVT modeling. This powerful engine supports a diverse range of workflows, including kick tolerance, blowout simulations, managed pressure drilling (MPD) operations, and dynamic kill sequences.

  • Managing risk and knowledge exposure in relation to well control
  • Dynamic kick tolerance calculations
  • Automated driller's methods
  • Sensitivity or single volume calculations
  • Automated procedure to provide consistency and limit manual input.
  • Sensitivities, parallelization and automated result handling provide unique efficiency .
  • Post processing to extract kick tolerance and key operational data.
  • Keeping track of result validity—users are notified of outdated results.
  • Easy recalculation of previous simulations if configuration changes.
  • Easy to use for drilling engineers.
  • Timesaving review and approval process for well control subject matter experts (SMEs).
