| dc.description.abstract | To face the new challenges that the petroleum industry has in deepwaters, a Subsea Mudlift Drilling Joint Industry Project, SMDJIP, was formed. The main task for this project is to develop the technology needed to drill in water depths beyond 7500 feet- the practical limit of current floating drilling units. New equipment and procedures have to be developed for areas such as connections, tripping, re-entry, well completion, and so on. As one of the main needs that this project has, the study of wellbore pressure during tripping operations was carried out in this investigation. A simulator (TRIP SIMULATOR 1.0) was developed in this thesis, it contains programmed algorithms to evaluate the behaior of pressure in the wellbore during tripping operations; its flexibility allows simulations in different scenarios with different configurations in a friendly environment for the user. | en |
