Calculation of charge losses or loss of drilling fluid in drilling wells taking into account the effects of temperature and pressure changes on drill fluid rheology, to give improved accuracy
The present invention relates to a method of calculating the pressure drops created by a given fluid in a circuit having a determined thermal profile. The method includes making up a database (BD) giving the rheology of various fluids at least according to the temperature; segmenting a thermal profile (2, 3) into sections (4, 5, 6, 7) and determining a representative temperature value (T1, T2, T3, T4) for the fluid in each section; using the database for determining the rheology of the fluid in each section at the representative temperature; and calculating and adding up the pressure drops in each section considering the rheology determined.
