A workshop marking the kickoff of the Industrial PhD Project HYDRA — HYdraulics modelling for DRilling Automation — was held at Kelda’s headquarters in Porsgrunn this week.
HYDRA is an R&D project under the Horizon2020 programme that includes 3 PhD studies on the topic of modelling for automated pressure control in drilling. The 3 PhD students will spend 50% of their time doing their research as part of the development team at Kelda Drilling Controls in Porsgrunn.
The objective of HYDRA is to develop a framework for multi-phase hydraulics modelling and model complexity reduction for drilling operations.
