Dynamic Modeling of Directional Drillstring: A Linearized Model Considering Well Profile

open access: yes, 2017
Drillstring vibration can cause fatigue failure of the drill pipe, premature wear of the bit, and a decreased drilling efficiency; therefore, it is important to accurately model the drillstring and bottomhole assembly (BHA) dynamics for vibration ...
