Torque and drag: Two factors in extended-reach drilling

Journal Article · · JPT, Journal of Petroleum Technology; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2118/27491-PA· OSTI ID:6877965
This paper addresses the various aspects of torque and drag problems encountered in drilling extended-reach wells. It discusses how to use torque and drag calculations and measurements to plan long-reach well profiles, to execute drilling operations that minimize torque and drag effects, to monitor hole cleaning, and to plan jarring operations.
