RESERVOIR APPLICATION FLUIDS
Once the data is entered in the category sections, the program generates a tabular printout of the
ESD versus depth. This form can be printed for use in a brine program or for general information.
In addition to the Equivalent Static Density Table, a graph can be printed indicating the change in
ESD and Brine Pressure versus Depth. An example of each output is given below.

DISPLEX
DISPLEX is state-of-the-art displacement and spacer management software that closely monitors
downhole pressures and pump rates to ensure optimum contact time for an effective wellbore and
casing clean-up. Some of its features are:
• Multiple fluids and spacer capability
• 3D wellbore visualization
• Multiple rheological model options
• Open hole completion
• Spacer contact times
• Flow profiles (turbulent or laminar)
• Surface equipment limitations
