The integration of the latest state-of-the-art technology in modeling and measurement of drilling dynamics and borehole quality has enhanced the understanding of bit, bottomhole assembly, and drillstring design. This can be seen in recent work on analysis of cutter-formation interaction, borehole-quality improvement, and modeling improvements.
-
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.
