Directional/complex wells
This paper analyzes the interaction of high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) with lateral vibrations based on a model that accounts for the superimposed movement of whirl and HFTO at the bit.
This paper describes a collaborative project to analyze affected wells, identify commonalities, and optimize bit design and drilling parameters to mitigate the effects of borehole spiraling.
In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.
