Early Kick Detection (EKD)

  • (LOWC) and other wellbore pressure-

related incidents cost the oil and gas industry BILLIONS of dollars a year and compromise the safety of personnel

  • Industry needs an EKD System that can

measure real time bi-directional changes in flow in a marine riser under ALL operating conditions

  • (EKD) is critical to mitigating the impact of

kicks and fluid loss that can result in a Loss Of Well Control (LOWC)

KnowFlow Systems - Components

  • The patented system comprises a

flanged bolt-on flow module, with flow monitoring device, mounted

  • n the marine riser
  • Flow information is displayed in

real-time on the system’s primary display, the driller’s screen, and is transmitted to off-site locations to the computers and mobile devices

  • f all authorized personnel

Features

  • Patented technology developed specifically

to measure real time bi-directional flow and changes in flow in a marine riser

  • Flow can be measured below

0.1bbl/minute and is unaffected by rig motions (heave, pitch, and roll)

  • Immediate indication of gain or loss is

provided during all rig operations. Drilling ahead, tripping, running casing, wireline logging with pumps on or off.

Features

  • System is easily calibrated at any time

using mud pump flow rate versus flowpellor rpm

  • Flow determination is unaffected by

drilling or completion fluid type or properties

  • Flow determination unaffected by type of

rig operation

Safety

  • Minimize the risk of potentially catastrophic well-

control incidents or Loss of Well Control (LOWC)

  • Early Kick detection (EKD) and Early Kick

Confirmation (EKC).

  • Determining when a kick has been effectively

controlled, and safe drilling operations can resume

  • Distinguish between kicks/losses and less

hazardous events such as breathing and ballooning permitting the operator to make safe and effective

  • perational decisions

Safety

  • Flow measurement and associated alarms are
  • perable 24/7 to multiple personnel
  • Flow measurement accuracy does not

deteriorate with increasing rig motions

  • System provides real-time measurement of

fluid flow within the riser as opposed to indirectly deducing the flow from tank level changes or mathematical calculations or algorithms on the MODU

  • Real-time indication of fluid gain/loss available

for all operations

Cost Reduction

  • Reduced connection times and overall time

required for “fingerprinting”

  • Expanded drilling weather window - Limiting

factor with increasing weather is heave compensator stroke not deterioration or indetermination of return flow measurement

  • Distinguish between kicks/losses and less

hazardous events, positioning the operator to make more cost effective operational decisions
