NOV CTES - Cerberus for Coiled Tubing

Cerberus for Jointed Pipe is state-of-the-art software used for modeling any operation involving the running of tools, casing, or completions into and out of wells. By analyzing the cumulative forces acting downhole at each stage of the job, Cerberus is able to determine whether the target depth can be reached, the desired tasks performed, and the equipment safely returned to surface. Its most important feature is the ability to model conditions in deviated and horizontal wellbores. Cerberus for Jointed Pipe will help provide answers to many critical questions and may even prevent costly failures and downtime.

Features: Full torque and drag model including tool joint effects User interface specifically designed for jointed pipe applications Customizable reports can be printed or saved in PDF format BHA bending calculations Both soft and stiff string capabilities Drilling fluid pressure and ECD calculations Real-time torque and weight on bit Hydraulics module supporting single and multiphase fluids including foams & Herschel-Bulkley models
Getting Results: Question & Answer Wizard Getting results is made easy in Cerberus by the Question & Answer Wizard. The main calculation tasks are presented as questions, and you simply click on the one you are interested in. The symbols on the left indicate the type of result or calculation you will see, for example a numerical result, a graph or a calculation wizard. The questions are divided into four logical sections, as shown below. Selecting the BHA Getting into and out of the well Performing the job at depth Other calculations Click on different sections of the screen capture below for additional information and/or examples. You will need to enable pop-ups in your browser.
Selecting the BHA is concerned with the tool configuration and its ability to navigate doglegs and restrictions in the well.
Getting Into and Out of the Well addresses the fundamental issue of whether the chosen toolstring can reach the required depth, especially in a deviated or flowing well, and be retrieved safely to surface once the job is complete.
Performing the Job At Depth ensures that, once downhole, you have sufficient maneuvering room to perform the job or deal with contingencies. For example, how much tension can you pull at surface if you get stuck or need to fish, or how much risk is there of flow pushing the tools uphole after perforating.
Other Calculations includes modeling for stuck tools and extended reach, as well as reporting and sensitivity analysis tools.
