Drilling Torque and Drag Application

The drastic increases of the extended-reach wells since 1990s help emerges the drilling torque and drag application which is very useful in predicting the torque and drag during drilling operation. This application helps engineering team to plan extended-reach wells in more aggressive manner since it’s reduce serious drilling risk such as buckling, pipe failures and box swelling. Although there are a lots of application developed to help users predict the drilling torque and drag for a drilling operation, however this did not help users in understanding the underlying process and algorithm behind the application that they are using. In the event of drilling, users will be unaware of how torque and drag prediction is done and how it is could effects the whole operation. This will give some difficulty to the users to calibrate the data to suit the well condition. Therefore this project is proposed to be conducted in developing a similar drilling torque and drag prediction application for educational purpose. This application is not intended to replace any commercial application in the market but most of it purposes is only to expose and assist the users about the fundamental of drilling torque and drag prediction in a drilling operation.
