Today important parameters to enable a reduction of lost and hidden lost time during drilling,
like hook loads for pulling and slacking off the drill string, and torque for drill string rotation …

Abstract Monitoring Torque and Drag effects in real time has been done for some time now
in the oil industry. However, the service is still used only in a small percentage of the total …

Monitoring the borehole condition during the ongoing drilling process is essential for a
successful and safe drilling operation. The drilling industry has developed monitoring …

This case study presents a novel approach to capturing torque and drag trends real-time
while drilling complex and extended reach wells. Data processing algorithms automatically …

This paper describes an automated system for the capture of torque and drag (T&D) data
that can alert the driller to impending issues. The automated system is managed by a real …

A technique for evaluating torque and drag effects in real time and for interpreting the
effectiveness of actions taken is presented in this paper. The application determines total …
