Abstract

Disclosed embodiments relate to MPD well drilling methods, for example allowing evaluation of whether an influx can safely be circulated out of the system. For example, a simulator can be used with parameter data from the MPD system to estimate in real time whether the influx can be circulated by the MPD system without exceeding equipment limits, and may be flexible enough to address both oil and water-based mud systems. For example, the simulator may use a multi-phase flow model to estimate the maximum pressure and maximum flowrate, which can then be compared to the equipment limits to determine whether or not the influx can be safely circulated by the MPD system. In some embodiments, the simulator can also be run iteratively to allow for optimization of the fluid circulation process. Systems and devices related to such methods are also disclosed.
