Drilling Simulator: LTD

Kick Detection Simulator

Welcome to the drilling simulator of the future! Looking for a fun way to practice drilling? This is the app for you!

Accessible for Practice on iPhone, iPad, and Web. Accessible for Assessment through a multiplayer setup in the classroom. This simulator is focused on the Driller Level training. For the Supervisor Level and for Bullheading, see our other app “Well Control Simulator”.

Transform how you do Well Control. Check out our demo and contact us today!

For classroom practice, every student can use our simulator to engage in classroom simulation exercises. For assessment, our simulators can be used with multiple devices in a multiplayer mode where an assessor can monitor a student’s test with a Supervisor and another student as Driller.

To use our simulator meet your classroom simulator requirements, simply list our simulator in your application.

Why is your simulator better than the well control simulators I’ve used in the past?

--------------------------------------

Unlike other simulator companies that rely on 1980s era technology, our simulator was built in 2018 - for the mobile age! Our simulator is truly a simulator for the modern era.

First, you can use our simulator on any device - iPad, iPhone, or any computer connected to the internet. As a result, you no longer have to rely on large, bulky, physical hardware that is difficult and expensive to transport. Our simulators are much more convenient to transport and use!

Second, our drilling simulators have substantially less technical support required than any existing hardware simulators! Existing simulators are built on 1980s era technology and proprietary hardware that is challenging to use and difficult to fix when it goes wrong. We’re using devices that everyone is familiar with - if our simulator doesn’t work, just go to the Apple Store!

Third, our drilling simulator lets students practice without having an instructor present! We have a Virtual Instructor build into our software system who walks students through simulation exercises with step-by-step hints and guidance. In the classroom, students get to see a fantastic instructor. But, when the instructor doesn’t have the time or isn’t around, students can practice until perfect with our virtual instructor.

Lastly, our simulation lets you practice anywhere, anytime. Your students can do simulation exercises at home before class, in the classroom, and on the rig in between the 2-year well control cycle. Now, everyone can have unlimited simulator time.

What simulations does this simulation cover?

--------------------------------------

The drilling simulator covers all IADC required simulations for the Driller and Supervisor Level Drilling, Workover/Completions, and Well Servicing Well Control courses. This includes Driller’s Method, Wait and Weight Method, and Bullheading with kill problems.

Specifically, the Driller Level simulation contains the following simulations: Line up BOP Panel, Line up Choke Panel, Line up Standpipe Manifold, Line up Choke Manifold, Line up Trip Tank, Check/Set Pressures, Set Pit Volume Alarm, Set Return Flow Alarm, Drill Ahead and detect a Kick Warning Sign, Flow Check, and Drill Ahead and Detect a Kick Indicator.

Our system is very robust - let us know if there are simulations you’re interested in that we do not currently cover!
