MINIMIZE DRILLSTRING VIBRATIONS TO OPTIMIZE DRILLING PERFORMANCE

 



H&P INTRODUCES THE DRILLSCAN® SOFTWARE FORCED VIBRATION MODULE TO HELP SELECT THE OPTIMAL BOTTOMHOLE ASSEMBLY (BHA) DESIGN

Drillstring vibrations habitually cause downhole BHA failures. While the drillstring will always be subject to these vibrations, H&P has developed a physics-based module that selects the optimal BHA design to enhance overall drilling performance.

• Quantifies the severity of vibrations along the string

• Benchmarks multiple BHA proposals with a few clicks

• Recommends peak drilling parameters for any type of BHA

• Helps ensure adequate placement of sensitive equipment

• Simple & accessible for all levels of drilling engineers



SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Forced Vibrations module features a comprehensive interface to quantify the impact of any excitation source along the drillstring. The drilling engineer can investigate the potential impact of lateral, torsional, and axial excitation sources along the drilling string by calculating critical speeds, vibration amplitude, and strain energy from any BHA.

Additionally, this module allows for individual investigation into each excitation source to help engineers determine the root cause of the vibration in order to mitigate future dysfunctions. Linearized contact forces and hypothesis within the Forced Vibration algorithm allows for quick calculation and analysis time on multiple BHAs simultaneously.

DRILLSCAN® SOFTWARE IDENTIFIES DRILLING DYSFUNCTION CAUSES IN COMPLEX, MULTILATERAL ERD WELL

Image
An operator in the North Sea faced a lower completion lock-up 800m above total depth (TD), followed by a stuck pipe event in an ERD multi-lateral well. In an initial effort to push the completion down to TD, all slack off weight and torque margin were used. Since no improvement was observed, the decision was made to pull-out. However, the string remained stuck and despite the rig efforts to free it, the lower completion had to be cut and left in hole. H&P’s DrillScan® technology team performed an in-depth post-analysis, reviewing all available data to identify what might have caused the lock-up event. The data provided was used to simulate the downhole conditions undergone by the completion with the DrillScan genuine stiff-string model. The results and conclusions pointed to string dysfunctions: suboptimal tripping and lubricating/ backreaming practices (BHA POOH) led to repeatedly exceeding the screens yield strength (lower completion RIH). H&P’s DrillScan software was a...
