What's New

- added option for gas compressibility factor (Z factor) when using gas law.

App Description

The Kick Tolerance provides to drilling engineers, chemists, students and other professionals in the petroleum industry a productivity helpful tool in the drilling operations (well control) and well planning step of oil wells.

This application deals the concept:

- Kick Tolerance as Maximum Kick Volume applying the Boyle's Law and also with options for Gas Law (temperature and gas compressibility factor effects).
Note about the gas Z factor in this app: PV = nRTZ. Formulas by Hall and Yarborough (1973) correlation to estimate z-factor of natural gas.

The Kick Tolerance calculations as maximum kick volume can be applied on vertical and 3D directional wells.
It provides a 3D well planning creation tool like our app "Directional Drilling".

The well planning and survey stations can also be imported from CSV text files, for example:
"MD","INC","AZI","TVD","N/S","E/W"
"1000.0","0.0","0.0","1000.0","0.0","0.0"
"1100.0","3.0","10.0"
"1200.0","6.0","15.0"
...
The values can be "quoted" or unquoted and separated by:
- Comma: 1.00,2.00,3.00
- Semicolon: 1.00;2.00;3.00 or 1,00;2,00;3,00
- Tab: 1.00 2.00 3.00 (TSV file)
- Space: 1.00 2.00 3.00

- Dark Mode (iOS 13 or greater)
