A survey of the literature related to theoretical and experimental studies on stick-slip vibration in oilwell drillstring is carried out in this study. It aims to explain key concepts and present the existing methods for studying this phenomenon. After briefly describing the stick-slip vibration related problems, theoretical models for such phenomenon are discussed including both coupled and uncoupled models. Discussion for experimental investigations including both laboratory and field tests are hereinafter addressed. This study aims to summarize the literature related to the stick-slip vibration, and help researchers in understanding and suppressing such phenomenon.

“…The push-the-bit rotary steerable drilling system has become the mainstream of current research and field promotion because of its simple structure and strong trajectory control ability [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, with the continuous advancement of oil and gas exploration and development to deep, deep-sea, and unconventional fields, the continuous increase in the complexity of drilling strata and the properties of rock's hardness and anti-drilling, the continuous rise in the temperature and pressure in the bottom hole, the growing demand of drilling risk control, and the continuous reduction in drilling costs, the rotary steerable system needs to further improve its temperature and pressure resistance ability, further improve its trajectory control ability, further extend its working life, and further improve the rotary steerable drilling speed [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

The reverse push-the-bit rotary steerable method based on the principle of a “labor-saving lever” provides a feasible technical solution for further improving trajectory control ability of the rotary steerable drilling system, further prolonging the system’s service life and further increasing the system’s drilling speed. In order to reveal the working characteristics of such a method deeply, the influence of the key structural parameters of the rotary steerable drilling system on its trajectory control ability is studied based on the finite element method. The results show that, with the certain distance from the bit to the centralizer, the structural parameters of the flexible joint, the distance from the flexible joint to the paranoid mechanism, and the distance from the paranoid mechanism to the centralizer are the main factors to affect trajectory control ability. Reducing the stiffness of the flexible joint, shortening the distance from the flexible joint to the paranoid mechanism, and optimizing the distance from the paranoid mechanism to the centralizer are the keys to improve trajectory control ability to the utmost. The performance of the reverse push-the-bit rotary steerable method with optimized parameters is obviously better than the existing method, but its actual drilling effect needs to rely on on-site verification and further optimization.

“…Navarro-López and Cortés [27], Hernandez et al [28] and Liu [15] in different studies used a variation of sliding mode method to control the motor's torque. Bayliss et al [29] applied pole placement method to obtain controller gain value in order to control the motor's torque. Vromen et al [16] presented a design of a nonlinear observer-based output-feedback control strategy to vary the motor's torque, and thereby eliminate torsional vibrations.…”

We investigate experimentally and numerically suppression of drill-string torsional vibration while drilling by using a sliding mode control. The experiments are conducted on the novel experimental drill-string dynamics rig developed at the University of Aberdeen (Wiercigroch, M., 2010, Modelling and Analysis of BHA and Drill-string Vibrations) and using commercial Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill-bits and rock-samples. A mathematical model of the experimental setup, which takes into account the dynamics of the drill-string and the driving motor, is constructed. Physical parameters of the experimental rig are identified in order to calibrate the mathematical model and consequently to ensure robust predictions and a close agreement between experimental and numerical results for stick–slip vibration is shown. Then, a sliding mode control method is employed to suppress stick–slip vibration. A special attention is paid to prove the Lyapunov stability of the controller in presence of model parameter uncertainties by defining a robust Lyapunov function. Again experimental and numerical results for the control cases are in a close agreement. Stick–slip vibration is eliminated and a significant reduction in vibration amplitude has been observed when using the sliding controller.
