UBDPRO - Underbalanced Drilling Hydraulics Software

Underbalanced drilling is often performed with the primary motivation of reducing formation damage and increasing production. Air/mist/foam drilling fluids are commonly employed in this process. Computer modeling has allowed far better understanding of the managed pressure drilling than was previously possible.

Underbalanced Drilling Hydraulics


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. In drilling operations where
aerated fluids are used, managed pressure drilling is performed with the primary motivation
of reducing formation damage and increasing production. In hard rock applications, where
air/mist drilling fluids are commonly employed, managed pressure drilling focuses on
increasing Rate of Penetration (ROP).
UBDPRO models the complex hydraulics for compressible fluids including air, mist, foam
and 2-phase fluids. It is also used to optimize gas and liquid injection rates to control the
bottomhole pressure.
