Effects of axial impact load on the dynamics of an oilwell drillstring
This article studies the dynamics of oilwell drillstring under large and small axial impact loads. For the case of large impact load, the drillstring is regarded as a continuous bar under the impact load of a falling mass, and the energy conservation ...

Flow Field and Pressure Loss Characteristics at Rotary Drillstring Joints
A thorough understanding and accurate calculation of the annulus pressure losses are paramount to drilling design and construction. However, due to the influence of the drillstring rotation and the abrupt dimensional variation at the joint, it is ...

Drillstring Failure: Analytical and Experimental Approach [PDF]
Drilling is one of the costliest activities in oil and gas industry due to the complexity of interactions with downhole rock formation. Under such conditions, the uncertainty of drillstring behaviour increase and hence it becomes difficult to predict the

Analysis of the Effect of Whirl on Drillstring Fatigue
There are many kinds of vibration forms of drillstring in petroleum drilling. Whirl is one of the main vibration modes when drilling tools are drilling, and it is also the main reason of fatigue failure of the drillstring.
