How Good is the Torque-Drag Model?
Proceedings of SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 2007Abstract Perhaps the only "standard" drillstring model in use today is the torque-drag model originally developed by Johancsik (1973) in 1984, and put in a standard form by Sheppard (1987). Because of the simplicity and general availability of this model, it has been used extensively for planning and in the field.

Advanced Torque and Drag Considerations in Extended-Reach Wells
IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1996Abstract Excessive torque and drag can be critical limitations in Extended-Reach Drilling (ERD). This paper details issues related to torque and drag prediction, monitoring, and management in ERD wells. Results are presented from sensitivity analyses of extreme ERD trajectories such as 7 to 8 km departures at 1600 m TVD.

Dynamic Model for Stiff-String Torque and Drag
SPE Drilling & Completion, 2013SummaryA dynamic stiff-string torque-and-drag (T&D) model is presented that assumes steady-state motion of the drillstring as its basis for calculations. Results are compared with previously published T&D models that are based on static equilibrium.

Torque and Drag Modeling for Horizontal Openhole Completions
SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2005Proposal Since horizontal openhole sections are now being drilled to lengths that exceed 20,000 ft, placement of the completion string (CS) to planned total depth (TD) may not be possible under a proposed drilling plan. During the early years of horizontal-well construction, the hanging weight of the completion string was usually ...

A rotational rheometer with a drag‐cup torque transducer
Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics Edition, 1975AbstractA rotational cone‐and‐plate rheometer incorporating a drag‐cup torque transducer and a frictionless, wire suspension has been designed and constructed. The instrument design provides for a controlled atmosphere for the sample, including anhydrous conditions necessary for studies on solutions of polymers in strong acids.

Aeration in Lubrication With Application to Drag Torque Reduction
Journal of Tribology, 2011The aeration of an oil film flowing between the faces of two closely spaced circular plates (one stationary, and one rotating) is examined experimentally, numerically, and with an improved lubrication model. The gap between the plates is small compared to their radii, making lubrication theory appropriate for modeling the flow.

Calculation and Analysis on Drag Torque of the Wet Clutch
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2015In order to study the drag torque characteristics of wet clutch, the drag torque with no groove friction plates and with radial groove friction plates were analysed separately, and the influence factors of the drag torque such as the lubricating oil temperature, the depth of the groove, the average gap between the friction plates were also discussed ...

Torque and Drag Modeling Advanced Techniques and Troubleshooting
SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2012Abstract Extreme torque and drag (T&D), especially when unplanned, is a primary limiter to the reach of horizontal and extended-reach wells. Many engineers use T&D software models without a thorough understanding of how the input affects the calculations in the program.

Torque and Drag in Directional Wells-Prediction and Measurement
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1984Summary A computer model has been developed to predict drillstring torque and drag, and a versatile rotary torque meter has been built to use in calibrating the model. The principle of the predictive model is that torque and drag forces in a directional wellbore are primarily caused by sliding friction.

Designing Well Paths to Reduce Drag and Torque
SPE Drilling Engineering, 1987Summary A deviated well with an undersection trajectory (i.e., a trajectory lying below the conventional tangent section and constantly building to target) can exhibit lower drag and torque than a conventional well geometry in certain circumstances. The influence of well geometry on drag and torque is discussed, making use of the results
