UBDPRO
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), including Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) technology, precisely controls the annular fluid pressure profile within a wellbore, which allows drilling of what might otherwise be economically unattainable prospects. Managed pressure drilling is often performed with the primary motivation of reducing formation damage. Therefore, increasing production and aerated fluid is commonly employed in the drilling process. In hard rock applications, managed pressure drilling is often performed with the primary motivation of increasing ROP (rate of penetration). Here air/mist drilling fluids are commonly employed. UBDPRO models the complex hydraulics for compressible fluids including air, mist, foam and 2-phase fluids. The advanced software model can be used to optimize gas and liquid injection rates in order to control bottomhole pressure.

DEPRO
DEPRO is a comprehensive torque, drag, and hydraulics program. Using this software, users can reduce many of the risks encountered in drilling and completion operations. DEPRO predicts the limits in the length of a horizontal well based on specific friction factors, recommends rig specifications, and evaluates the required weight to set a packer. For hydraulics, DEPRO covers downhole circulating pressures, surge and swab, equivalent circulation densities (ECD), bit optimization, hole cleaning, and volumetric displacements. Using DEPRO, downhole drilling hydraulic conditions can be fully examined and any potential problems can be identified prior to field execution. Torque, drag, and stress calculation. Soft and stiff string models. Drilling, back reaming, rotation off the bottom, tripping in and tripping out operations. Sinusoidal and helical buckling prediction. Field data comparison on workload and surface torque. Friction factor sensitivity analysis. Packer setting analysis.

HYDPRO
Whether you are drilling a vertical or extended-reach well, an equivalent circulating density (ECD) that is too low or too high can cause serious drilling problems or compromise your project’s budget. A successful drilling operation relies heavily on achieving an optimal ECD. Accurate modeling and optimized drilling hydraulics is crucial. It allows engineers to plan ahead, thus improving drilling efficiencies, reducing risk, and decreasing non-productive time (NPT). Pegasus Vertex's HYDPRO is a comprehensive drilling hydraulics model that covers all aspects of hydraulics, including downhole circulating pressures, surge and swab, ECD, bit optimization, hole cleaning, and volumetric displacements. With these features, downhole drilling hydraulic conditions can be fully examined and any potential problems can be identified prior to field execution.

TADPRO
Today’s more prevalent extended-reach directional wells mean that tubulars are exposed to greater amounts of torque and drag (T&D). If this torque and drag is not evaluated, this can result in stuck pipe, pipe failures, and costly fishing jobs. TADPRO, the most comprehensive torque and drag software in the market, removes many of the risks of a drilling program, completion design or specific tool operation. Limits in the length of a horizontal based on specific friction factors can be determined. The ability to get needed weight to a liner-top packer can also be evaluated. With the ability to analyze forces downhole, rig equipment specifications for torque and hookload can be predicted. With unparalleled user-friendliness and graphical outputs in the industry, TADPRO provides both versatility and accuracy in its calculations. The software also integrates advanced features that make it extremely easy to use and allow results to be interpreted effortlessly.
