Methodology for the Application of Evaluation Matrices for Vibration in the String During Drilling

Abstract

The research aims to design a methodology for applying vibration assessment matrices to the drill string during drilling to optimize drilling parameters and string performance; optimize the ROP of the well being drilled; and, in some cases, prevent entrapment or hole collapse due to mechanical effects. This is a projective study that addresses drill string vibrations using documentary and observational techniques for data acquisition. The methodology will be developed in phases: first, research and collection of well data and existing literature; then, classification of the information and analysis of vibration assessment criteria used by different companies. Subsequently, the operational ranges of these companies will be compared to establish a unified method for determining the specific vibration type using real-time recordings (LWD/MWD) and proposing solutions or guidelines. Finally, mechanical vibration assessment matrices will be designed for the drill string, classified by strength and type of vibration (axial, torsional, or lateral), using the studied well profiles as a reference. Once the vibration value has been identified, a real-time recommendation will be issued to correct the anomalies or continue drilling.
