MudSim, GeoMind, DIG and Oliasoft Join Forces to Shape the Future of De-Risked Drilling
MudSim is proud to exhibit alongside GeoMind, DIG and Oliasoft at IMAGE Houston, demonstrating a shared vision for the next generation of drilling technology. Together, the companies are exploring an AI-supported, integrated platform where real-time data sharing between geology, well design and drilling operations enables smarter decisions, significantly reduces operational risk, and delivers safer, more […]
Testing confirm MudSim’s ability to de-risk drilling
The results demonstrated how predictive simulation enables earlier corrective actions, helping operators avoid costly drilling failures, reduce non-productive time, improve well delivery predictability and make safer, more sustainable drilling decisions
MudSim and WellSoft Launch Strategic Technology Collaboration
MudSim and WellSoft have entered a strategic cooperation to develop joint projects that combine complementary technologies for smarter drilling operations. By integrating advanced drilling-fluid optimization with formation and well-performance analysis, the partnership aims to improve reservoir productivity. In addition we will de-risk well delivery through more optimized drilling operations.
MudSim milestone: Hole cleaning simulation now integrated in the holistic drilling fluid tool
MudSim has reached an important development milestone. The hole cleaning simulation is now completed and integrated into the MudSim platform as part of our holistic drilling fluid simulation tool. Hole cleaning remains one of the major operational challenges in modern drilling operations, especially in long horizontal wells. When drill cuttings are not effectively transported out […]
Hole cleaning
Is hole cleaning one of the most critical problem for the drilling industry ? How can we avoid this risc with MudSim? ; As wells transition from vertical to horizontal, hole cleaning becomes increasingly complex. Cuttings can settle, reducing efficiency and increasing risks like stuck pipe and excessive torque. MudSim addresses this by simulating drilling […]
MAINTAINING RATE OF PENETRATION WITH WATER-BASED DRILLING FLUIDS
Here we highlight the importance of drilling fluid selection when using WBM and maximizing the rate of penetration (ROP) that we know can be challenging, especially in formations prone to swelling or bit balling. However, with the right strategies, it is possible to maintain efficient drilling rates. In a recent project drilling a 12,25 inch […]
