Figure 28: kick module temperature graph
Before simulation, the model parameters such as grid cell numbers and lost circulation data are entered. Simulating the kick the in the well bore required the setting of certain batch configurations which were allowed to run without any interference. The circulation rate before the pre-kick section defines kick while the degree of underbalance can be noted in the kick intensity. The sensitivity configuration calculated the maximum kick size, the casing show position and the degasser capacity as shown below. The simulation is run with the choke open and the results are recorded. Results of the simulation are shown below.
