Well control modeling is effective tool to manage risk and make critical decisions

摘要

Much of petroleum exploration and production is about risk management, and well control is an ever present and potentially costly issue. Well control simulation is a useful tool for helping to manage these risks. When applied to well planning, it serves to identify potential well control problems and mitigate these risks by developing and optimizing well design. It can also be applied to evaluate special well control operations and thus provide contingency provisions in the event that such problems do occur.
