Bottomhole Assembly Modeling - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969545 titled 'Bottomhole Assembly Modeling
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for creating a model of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) connected to a drill string in a borehole. The model is segmented and a multipoint boundary value problem (BVP) is solved based on these segments.
- The method involves forming a model of a BHA in a borehole connected to a drill string.
- The model is segmented into one or more segments.
- A multipoint boundary value problem (BVP) is solved based on the segments.
Key Features and Innovation
- Formation of a model of a BHA in a borehole connected to a drill string.
- Segmentation of the model into one or more segments.
- Solving a multipoint boundary value problem (BVP) based on the segments.
Potential Applications

Questions about BHA Modeling
How does the segmentation of the model contribute to the accuracy of the BVP solution?
Segmenting the model allows for a more detailed analysis of the BHA's behavior in different sections of the borehole, leading to a more accurate solution to the multipoint boundary value problem.
What are the potential implications of this technology for the oil and gas industry?
This technology could revolutionize drilling operations by providing a more precise understanding of BHA behavior, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings for companies in the oil and gas sector.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for forming a model of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) in a borehole, wherein the BHA is connected to a drill string. The method may further comprise segmenting the model into one or more segments and solving a multipoint boundary value problem (BVP) based at least in part on the one or more segments.
