Abstract:Planning high-angle
wells involves diverse areas; one of the most
important of these areas is torque and drag (T&D) management.
Not only could uncontrolled T&D cause various drilling problems
like drill string (D/S) failures, casing wear, stuck pipes, and slow
rates of penetration but it could also entirely stop the drilling
progress, if torque and/or drag exceed rig or string capabilities.
Modeling T&D in advance would alleviate these problems by prediction
of friction forces to be encountered and urging the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
