Abstract

The prediction of the well pressure loss and the standpipe pressure (real value of the system pressure loss) are values that differ in the well drilling operation. The methodology that was elaborated in this study has the goal to
decrease that difference using a comparative analysis of rheological models finding the best model to describe the hydraulic behavior and with this, achieve the optimization of simulated value. The methodology was implemented in each section of the well ANH-PATÍA-1-ST-P, and the results could be applied in projects of the same area.
