Transient Analysis of Rotary Drilling Rig in Response to Sudden Breaking of Wire Rope for Drilling Pipe Lifting

Bounds on the response of a drilling pipe model

The drill pipe model described by the wave equation with boundary conditions is reduced through the d’Alembert transformation to a difference equation model. Assuming that the boundary condition at the bottom is perturbed by bounded additive noise, an ultimate bound for the velocity at the bottom of the pipe is obtained. The proposal of a Lyapunov functional for the distributed model allows to ...

Ergonomic Exposure Assessment on a Drilling Rig

The great potential of nanomaterials in drilling & drilling fluid applications

The continuous development of global economy with decreasing in available hydrocarbon sources and increasing discovery and extraction costs due to decrease in-situ oil and gas reservoir, displays the necessity of using new techniques for the improve rate of penetration and productivity in well. Nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in the energy industri...

Time-Varying Sliding Mode Adaptive Control for Rotary Drilling System

This paper presents a time-varying sliding mode adaptive controller in order to handle the stick-slip oscillation of nonlinear rotary drilling system. The time-varying sliding mode controller with strong robust has two time-varying sliding surfaces, one of them induced time-varying integral sliding mode control can control the transient stage of the rotary drilling system and ensure the system ...
