Authors: Jørgen Opdal,Affiliation: SINTEF
Reference: 1982, Vol 3, No 1, pp. 21-39.
Keywords: Oil drilling, numeric modeling, real time simulation
Abstract: This paper contains the basic numeric model for the oil drilling simulator WELLSIM. As a case study it presents an example from well pressure control. Figure 1 shows a picture of the simulator.
