SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING STICK-SLIP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432202 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING STICK-SLIP
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract is for predicting stick-slip events in a wellbore by measuring surface and downhole properties and determining the likelihood of a stick-slip event based on the match of these properties.
- Surface and downhole properties are measured using sensors at the surface and downhole tools in the wellbore.
- The method determines if the properties match a distribution that occurred before previously-detected stick-slip events.
- Based on this match, the method calculates the likelihood of a stick-slip event occurring.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in the oil and gas industry to prevent stick-slip events in drilling operations, improving efficiency and safety.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in predicting stick-slip events, which can cause damage to drilling equipment and lead to costly downtime in drilling operations.
Benefits
The method allows for proactive measures to be taken to prevent stick-slip events, reducing equipment damage and downtime in drilling operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be used by oil and gas companies, drilling contractors, and service providers to enhance drilling operations and minimize the risk of stick-slip events.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be methods for monitoring downhole conditions in drilling operations to prevent equipment failures and improve drilling efficiency.
What are the specific surface and downhole properties that are measured in this method?
The specific surface properties measured could include temperature, pressure, and vibration, while downhole properties could include torque, weight on bit, and drilling fluid properties.
How accurate is the method in predicting stick-slip events based on the match of surface and downhole properties?
The accuracy of the method in predicting stick-slip events would depend on the quality of the data collected and the effectiveness of the distribution matching algorithm used. Further testing and validation would be needed to determine the exact accuracy of the method.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for predicting a stick-slip event includes measuring one or more surface properties using a sensor at the surface. The method also includes measuring one or more downhole properties using a downhole tool in a wellbore. The method also includes determining that the one or more surface properties and the one or more downhole properties match a distribution. The distribution occurs before two or more previously-detected stick-slip events. The method also includes determining a likelihood that a stick-slip event will occur based at least partially upon the distribution that the one or more surface properties and the one or more downhole properties match.
