Abstract

A method and apparatus for associated with various phases of a well completion. In one embodiment, a method is described that includes identifying first principle physical laws governing performance of a well completion and parameters associated with the first principle physical laws or the well. A coupled physics simulator is selected based on the first principle physical laws. Then, a coupled physics limit is generated based upon the coupled physics simulator that incorporates the first principle physical laws and the parameters.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] [001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application 60 / 702,812, filed July 27, 2005. Background technique [0003] [002] This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of this technology, which may be related to exemplary embodiments of the technology that are described and / or claimed below. We believe this discussion helps to provide information to the reader in order to better understand particular aspects of the technology. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light and not necessarily as admissions of prior art. [0004] [003] The extraction of hydrocarbons, such as oil and natural gas, has been done for many years. To extract these hydrocarbons, one or more wells are typically drilled into a subterranean location (which is usually referred to as a subterranean formation or basin) in a mine. The process of extracting hydro...
