Mechanical behavior of drillstring with drag reduction oscillators and its effects on sliding drilling limits

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2021
Practice has proved that drag reduction oscillator can decrease axial friction and increase wellbore extension effectively in sliding drilling operations. However, the complicated mechanical behavior of drillstring with drag reduction oscillators has not

Drillstring Identification to Reduce Drillstring Failures

IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1988
Abstract A novel system has been developed, which reduces the number of drillstring failures by enabling the accumulated fatigue load of each individual drillstring component to be recorded. A prototype is currently undergoing field tests. Labels incorporated in drillpipes are used to identify the components.

Early warning of drillstring faulty conditions based on multi-model fusion in geological drilling processes

Journal of Process Control, 2023
The early warning of drilling faults is of paramount importance to prevent or reduce environmental and property damages. In view of the complex drillstring kinematic characteristics and changeable formation environment, this paper proposes a new fault ...

Modeling of Drillstrings

24th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering: Volume 1, Parts A and B, 2005
In this paper we show how a drillstring can be modeled in terms of limited numbers of masses and springs for the purpose of building a test rig. The model should represent the drillstring dynamics to a reasonable degree of accuracy. We will use the real component of the Frequency Response Function and the stability diagram as measures of dynamic ...

Measurement and simulation of nonlinear drillstring stick–slip and whirling vibrations

International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 2020
When drilling ultra-deep wells with polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits, the drillstring suffered from severe vibrations that were responsible for the premature failure of drillstring components and the inefficient drilling process. In this paper,

Stress Analysis of Drillstrings

University of Tulsa Centennial Petroleum Engineering Symposium, 1994
Abstract Drillstring stress analysis techniques are reviewed with emphasis on the use of torque-drag formulations. Some of the many modifications to torque-drag calculations are reviewed and discussed. The limitations of current results in drillstring dynamics for use in stress analysis calculations are also discussed.

Analysis of Drillstring Failures

SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1995
Abstract The drilling industry is currently exploring various ways of reducing drilling costs through a multitude of initiatives; for example C.R.I.N.E. (Cost Reduction In the New Era). One of the major areas where there is potential for cost reduction is downtime due to hole problems and drillstring failures.

Drillstring Network 2.0: An Enhanced Drillstring Network Based on 100 Wells of Experience

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2014
Abstract Wired drill pipe (WDP) has been used in more than 100 wells worldwide to create a drillstring network that provides high bandwidth communications between the surface and tools deployed in the wellbore. This network operates independently of drilling fluid, enabling communications for the widest range of drilling applications ...
