Maintaining drillstring integrity is one of the main factors in a successful drilling operation.
Drillstring integrity failure due to drillpipe fatigue remains to be a major problem. Drillpipe …

Distributed pressure sensors along the drill string from wired drill pipe telemetry, combined
with real-time analysis of the data at the rig, may give valuable information to the drilling …

The question of what is happening downhole is routinely answered through human
interpretation of surface data. While widely available, subsurface data is typically pulsed …

High-speed wired drill pipe and its corresponding communication technology not only can
achieve high-speed transmission rate and high-capacity, but also can realize real-time …

The objective of this study is to monitor and forecast how well the casing string can be run
during the drilling of the well's particular hole section. The runnability of the casing is …
