Abstract

The main objective of this article is to do a comprehensive sensitivity analysis so as to study the influence of rotational speeds on the drillstring and BHA vibrations in well ZB-290 of s-shape well profile. This study is an extention of our reseach work of drillstring vibrations that were previously implemented to identify, analyze and control the resulting vibration in Zubair field wells. This well (ZB-290) has been drilled in Zubair field. Furthermore, recorded time-based vibration data and the vibration logs of this well to perform this analysis. BHAs forces, stresses, displacements, torque, and moments have been successfully identified and analysed taking into account the change of drilling speed. Drilling performance and future well designs will be enhanced based on the previous and this work.

Keywords: Vibration; RPM; BHAs parameters; Performance; Stress; Forces; Torque and displacement
