The disclosure presents processes to improve the calibration of adjustable choke valves corresponding to a specific size of positive choke bean. Typically, manufacturers specify a position of the adjustable choke valve that corresponds to a specific choke bean size. Hydrocarbon fluid conditions and composition vary and subterranean formation characteristics vary which can lead to errors in the calibration. By comparing flow rate parameters of the hydrocarbon fluid flowing through the adjustable choke manifold and the positive choke manifold, errors in calibration can be detected and corrected. The factors involved with the hydrocarbon fluid and the error correction can be used to update a choke model. The choke model can then be used for future calibrations of the adjustable choke valve.

A system for monitoring an annular fluid level may include a floating element disposed on a surface of a drilling fluid within an annulus of the well, during mud cap drilling operations. The system may also include an antenna disposed above the floating element. The antenna may be configured to transmit a first signal to the floating element, and to receive a second signal from the floating element in response to the first signal. The system may also include a processor configured to determine a time value that measures a time between a transmittal, by the antenna, of the first signal and a receipt, by the antenna, of the second signal. The processor may also determine a state of a drilling fluid level within the annulus based on the time value, and update a drilling program for the well based on the state of the drilling fluid level.

Aspects and features include a system and method for wellbore perforation analysis and design. The system takes into account geomechanical considerations. In some examples the system determines wellbore parameters associated with a wellbore in a formation, calculates a current effective stress value associated with a hole in the formation, and determines a maximum effective stress value and a minimum wellbore pressure value. The system can then produce perforating job parameters to maximize a perforation while maintaining at least the minimum wellbore pressure value. In some examples, the system makes use of a parts database to determine job parameters that can implemented based on available parts.
