Optimal design of drag reduction oscillators by considering drillstring fatigue and hydraulic loss in sliding drilling

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2022
Practice has proved that drag reduction oscillators can be used to decrease the axial friction and increase wellbore extension effectively in sliding drilling.

Failure analysis of drillstrings

Engineering Failure Analysis, 2007
Abstract The cost of drilling a well is measured in tens of millions of dollars. The incidence of downhole failure of the drillstring can increase this figure dramatically. The focus placed on cost reduction in the early 1990’s – when the oil price was much lower than today’s levels – resulted in some scrutiny of drilling operations, amongst other ...

Nonlinear Dynamic Modeling of Drillstring-Bit-Rock Coupling System Based on Bit/Rock Interaction Simulation

SPE Journal, 2022
In this paper, based on the dynamic model of the geometrically exact drillstring in horizontal well, a nonlinear dynamic model of drillstring-bit-rock coupling system is established. First, the contact model of drillstring and borehole wall in vertical

Drillstring Vibrations and Wellbore Quality: Where Drillstring Design Meets Geomechanics

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2018
Abstract Wellbore quality might not always be the top priority from a drilling perspective due to the misconception that quality comes at the expense of drilling efficiency. This is indeed a misconception since a compromised wellbore quality, which can be defined as non-uniform wellbore shape due to the presence of enlargements and tight

Frequency Analysis of Surface and Downhole Dynamics Demonstrates Effectiveness of Impedance Matching Torsional Damping System Across Multiple Drillstring Harmonics

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition
Torsional vibration, commonly referred to as ‘stick-slip’ is one of the most common modes of drillstring vibration, often driving lateral and axial shocks as the BHA accelerates in the ‘slip’ phase.

Simulating Drillstring Dynamics Motion and Post-Buckling State with Advanced Transient Dynamics Model

, 2021
As drilling sections become deeper and longer, transferring more weight downhole to improve rate of penetration is the primary concern for the operator. Drillstring dynamics and buckling are some primary limiters for drilling efficiency.

Stability analysis of drillstring rotation

Dynamics and Stability of Systems, 1995
The stability of oilwell drillstring rotation is analyzed. The drillpipe is represented by a one-dimensional continuum in torsion, while the bottom-hole-assembly is considered to be a rigid body.

Axial Load Peristaltic Transfer Mechanism of the Drillstring to Improve Penetration Rate

SPE Journal
During the drilling of long horizontal wells, the significant frictional resistance generated by the wellbore walls poses a challenge for the drillstring to efficiently transmit load to the drill bit, which eventually reduces drilling efficiency and ...

An Efficient Simulation Method for Deep-Vertical-Well Drillstring Dynamics Based on Nonlinear Beam Element

SPE Journal
In the research field of drillstring mechanics, there are two main problems: First, the upper boundary conditions of the lower drillstring model are not accurate enough, and second, the computational efficiency of the full-well drillstring model is low.
