Abstract

Volumetric changes in the active drilling fluid system during drilling operation are commonly termed borehole ballooning or breathing. One of the borehole ballooning contributors is the elastic deformation of an open borehole wall. When the elastic deformation of the open borehole wall occurs, it causes a volumetric change in the active drilling fluid volume in the system; the change in volume will be variable depending on the well in question and occurs frequently. Prediction of the volumetric change is highly complex, simply because huge number of complicated equations involved. Therefore, the use of the computer is necessary to reduce the process time and improve the prediction accuracy. Hence, Standalone software has been developed (built on Matlab) in order to estimate and quantify the volumetric change of the active drilling fluid system.
