Drilling Hydraulics



  1. Hydraulic drilling has the following advantages over pneumatic drilling: (1) lower energy consumption, (2) lower drilling accessory costs, (3) greater drilling capacity, (4) better environmental conditions such as lower noise, (5) more operative flexibility, and (6) easier to automatize.
  2. Drilling Hydraulics (HY) – Stand-alone Chapter of the IADC Drilling Manual, 12th Edition This chapter of the 12th edition of the IADC Drilling Manual, explains how hydraulics impact the drilling process. The new eBook discusses what is covered by the broad term “hydraulics”, as well as briefly describing hydraulic-related equipment.
  3. Rotary Drilling Hydraulics. Proper utilization of mud pump horsepower is of considerable importance to rotary drilling operations. Analytical appraisal of the rig's circulating system requires an understanding of the components which consume power, so that the available energy.
  4. 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.

About This Item

Drilling Hydraulics

Full Description

This early-release chapter of the 12th edition of the IADC Drilling Manual, explains how hydraulics impact the drilling process. ©IADC. All rights reserved.
The new eBook discusses what is covered by the broad term 'hydraulics', as well as briefly describing hydraulic-related equipment. Hydraulic parameters, such as density, viscosity, yield point, rheology models, flow rate and fluid velocity are covered. Velocity and circulation rate determinations for both duplex and triplex pumps are discussed. Applications of hydraulics, including estimating bottomhole pressure and wellbore pressure management are covered, as is annular velocity. Five color illustrations and charts. 8 pages, including index.

Drilling Hydraulics Optimization

The pressure losses associated to the mud circulation must be considered carefully for every operation. An incorrect estimation of the pressure profiles in the well can lead to major problems such as formation fracturing, as well as our gas for fluid influx… The Wellbore Hydraulics module takes into account these friction phenomena.
