OLGA WELL KILL is a dynamic simulation
model for multiphase flow in wells. The model is especially designed for calculation of
pump rate and volume for a variety of blowout control situations.
OLGA WELL KILL is developed from the state-of-the-art two-phase flow simulator OLGA. It can handle any well configuration - from single vertical wells to multilateral horizontal wells.
The pump path(s) can be via relief well(s), tubing, drillpipe or a combination of these, depending on the situation.
Kill options
OLGA WELL KILL was designed for planning and evaluation of kill intervention options. The model can be used to analyse blowout flow, kill point, pumping schedule, casing design, kill fluid properties and volumes, temperature, pressure and other related parameters. The results may be presented versus time for a complete dynamic and volumetric response.
Applications
The model is installed on a portable PC, and assistance is available on-site world wide for blowout kill planning and control situations through Well Flow Dynamics AS. Experience has been gained world wide on several large and small blowouts, which has verified the accuracy and flexibility of the modelling process.
