| The complexity of defining flow of multiphase compressible media makes it very difficult to predict pressures and determine cuttings-transport velocities. MUDLITE, the most comprehensive air/mist/foam and flow-drilling hydraulics program available to the industry, finally solves this problem. It is used by companies worldwide to successfully evaluate and develop underbalanced drilling operational parameters.
