Learn how digital simulations can be used to make the drilling process more efficient, save on costs, minimize environmental impact, and reduce risk.

Physics-Based Digital Simulations are extending the range of operating levels with high fidelity predictions to Multi-scale complex drilling challenges. Realistic simulations help handle unprecedented scenarios that can take place every day on an Oilfield, but a multiscale nature poses computational difficulties. By handling this from different approaches and finding ways for solvers to work together, it will be more feasible in making calculations easier than before.

The process of excavating the natural resources that are entombed at thousands of miles under the surface of ground to be used for human benefits is called Well Drilling or Wellbore Drilling. These natural resources could be groundwater, brine and minerals, natural gas or petroleum. Most of these resources are formed over thousands of years due to multiple factors. The most important of these factors are high pressure and temperature.

Fluid-structure interaction exists in various forms in our lives; whether in nature like the wind interaction with the crops, trees, or even inside us such as the heart pump and valve dynamics in the cardiovascular system. In addition, this interaction between fluids and solids occurs in man-made objects at different levels of interaction such as submarines and sub-sea jumpers immersed in oceans, wind loading affecting buildings such as bridges, wind turbines, aircraft structures, oil and gas pipelines, and many other applications.
