Abstract:The actual forces acting on the drill string in directional drilling is relatively complex than vertical drilling. In this work, the different forces acting on the drill string during directional drilling are analyzed using actual drilling data. The calculation of such forces can help driller to predict downhole complications that are caused due to drill string failures. The estimation of effective tension force at the top of the drill string requires both true tension forces and buckling stability forces acti… 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.
