The industry standard for helping mitigate drilling problems, Virtual Hydraulics™ drilling fluid simulation software gives you a virtual snapshot of downhole fluid behavior before drilling begins and while the well is in progress. This powerful and accurate software enables you to design, evaluate and optimize drilling hydraulics under simulated downhole pressure profiles and fluid properties to maximize drilling performance. 

• Onshore drilling
• Deepwater drilling
• High-temperature, high-pressure wells
• Extended-reach wells

• 3D visualization system provides a virtual window into downhole hydraulics and related issues
• Virtual well enables you to navigate interactively for critical examination and analysis of downhole hydraulics calculated by VRDH (snapshot case)
• Dynamic reconnaissance simulators optimize hydraulics ahead of the bit, using predefined drilling parameters
• Downhole transient temperature profiles are generated during circulation or shut-in
• Improved models and parametric analyses for hole cleaning, ECD management, annular velocity profiles, downhole temperatures and pressures

• Monitors and predicts the hydraulics and rheological behavior of synthetic-, oil-, and water-based drilling fluids in extreme temperatures and high-pressure environments
• Guides decision making through an interactive 3D visualization
• Enables drilling fluid properties to be engineered to meet the wellbore conditions of demanding wells
• Helps reduce drilling fluid losses during all critical well operations
• Mitigates lost circulation in tight clearances and narrow drilling windows
