Centralizer Simulation
We operate the latest software to calculate optimum centralizer placement, casing standoff and torque and drag for all completion applications, including ERD or deviated wellbores.

Industry recognised simulation software CentraDesign calculates the centralizer placement, casing standoff and torque and drag. It analyses and recommends the minimum number of centralizers to define string placement, considering stand-off criteria, torque or drag reduction requirements or optimum positioning due to high load areas. The simulations can also accommodate flexibility in the calculations to consider “specified spacing” and “specified standoff” modes for different sections of casing/liner using either bow spring and / or rigid centralizers.

Centralizer simulations can account for and analyse:

3D well path visualization
Casing floatation and air section length optimization
Torque and drag calculations
Casing deflection and centralizer compression
Latest casing bending models
Constant spacing, minimum stand-off or optimum designs
For each pipe, user can specify:
No centralizer
Constant spacing design
Minimum stand-off design
Optimum placement
Combination of spring-bow and rigid centralizers
Extensive tubular and centralizer database included
Tripping animation with drag / torque profiles
