  • Publication number: 20150104767
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-based method for 3D simulation of oil and gas operations. According to an aspect, the method comprises:—selecting from a database comprising data related to a plurality of equipments and a plurality of environments, one environment and at least one equipment;—loading, using a processor, core data and 3D models related to the selected environment and equipment(s), wherein the core data and 3D models are stored in the database;—determining, using the processor, the position of the selected equipment(s) in the selected environment, based on the core data of the equipment(s) and environment;—generating, using the 3D models and the determined position of the equipment(s), a 3D representation of a scene comprising the selected environment and equipment(s);—displaying views and/or animations related to the equipment(s) and/or environment upon request of a user, wherein the views and/or animations are derived from the 3D models.

  • Patent number: 8621921
    Abstract: A retrievable downhole testing tool that is adapted to be temporarily installed in a well is disclosed. The retrievable downhole testing tool comprises a variable choke, a tool control unit adapted to control the variable choke, and at least two measuring sensors adapted to measure physical parameters including pressure. At least one measuring sensor is situated above the variable choke, and at least one measuring sensor is situated below the variable choke. The retrievable downhole testing tool is pre-programmed with a specified test sequence for controlling a downhole flow rate using the variable choke and for executing downhole measurements of physical parameters at specified flow periods. The specified test sequence is adapted according to a pre-defined stability criterion using the tool control unit.
