The HYDRA project is financed by EU as an Innovative Training Program within the Horizon2020 program, in particular as a an EID (European Industrial Doctorates) project.

The scientific objective of HYDRA is to develop a framework for multi-phase hydraulic modeling and model complexity reduction for drilling operations, delivered in software directly usable in industry. The resulting models uniquely combine high predictive capacity and low complexity enabling their usage in both virtual drilling scenario testing and drilling automation.
