Drill-string Vibrations Vibration types Axial Vibration: Bit bounce Damage bit cutters and bearings
Torsional Vibration: Stick-Slip Fatigue drill collar connection, damage bits, unstable drilling, decrease ROP
Lateral Vibrations: (instability or unbalance) Forward and backward Whirling, bending connection fatigue, over-gage borehole, accelerates wear, PDC cutter to chip

stick-slip: severe form of torsional vibration of the drill-string
Results in: Bit stall Decrease ROP (rate of penetration meter/hour) Decrease the integrity of the drilled hole Decrease the lifetime of downhole equipment In severe cases it can result in catastrophic damages
Impact of the stick-slip phenomenon

By having borehole and drill-string interaction and considering the friction, the pipe torsional stiffness will rise T-Tf-=K. T=(K+Tf). =>T=Keq. K : nonlinear Tf: nonlinear Solutions: K : the materials behaviour will be similar (nonlinear after buckling) Tf : a wall should be added to the experiment rig, get a numerical and analytical match

Dynamical modeling of drill-string without AST Assumptions: Main point of friction is Bit, friction between drill-string components and bore
hole is negligible in compare with bit and well Vertical well (no lateral movement) Inertia of bottom and rotary table considered The drill-string considered as series springs with having one equivalent stiffness
and damping to show the response of the system (one spring and damper) (Continues system of pipes and BHA are considered as a torsional pendulum with 2 degrees of freedom) Increasing the length of drilling string is not considered (for now)

Stick-Slip Stick-slip is a severe form of torsional vibration of the drill-string
caused by an overtorque at the interface between the formation and the drill bit that creates numerous difficulties which can ultimately degrade the safety of the drilling operations
What does it mean?
Torsional vibration
ETP Annual Conference-10th October 2017
Initiates when frictional forces preventing the drill bit from rotating for a moment
Now, bit is in stick phase, while rotary table continues
spinning, applying torque continuously (energy stores and twists the drill-string) until static friction (transient)
Apply torque becomes more than static friction bit breaks
free and overshoots (slip phase) Because it overshoots it slow down and stick again Repeat again!
Why bit stops and initiates this cycle?
Stick-slip stages
ETP Annual Conference-10th October 2017
Going to stick phase: Drilling normal
Encountering hard rock Increases dynamic friction while drive torque is constant
Bit slows down and stops from rotation (Sticks) Friction coefficient switches to from dynamic to static
Static friction> dynamic friction More energy requires to rotate the bit
When Torque (or energy stored at the bottom of drill pipe)> static friction, Bit overshoots (higher speed than the rotary table)
Friction coefficient switches from static to dynamic
Stick-slip stages
ETP Annual Conference-10th October 2017
How to identify stick-slip? Inertia rotary table is high=> absorbs vibrations and reflect it back down MWD and LWD
Torque and Rotation (RPM) fluctuations Better to be prevented Fish? (severe forms which spins out or breaks a joint of drill-string)

Friction model bottom Tfb (bit-rock) The bitrock contact is proposed as a variation of the Stribeck friction together with the dry friction model. (As b Increases friction bottom decays exponentially from static friction to coulomb friction) The dry friction model when b=0, is approximated by a combination of the switch model proposed and the model in which a zero velocity band is introduced (Karnopp) which almost matches the real interaction of bit-rock:

Hysteresis between the two responses of stable drilling and stick-slip Choosing different initial conditions for WOB of 80N, can have both stable drilling and stick-slip. The green point in the middle is the stable drilling since there are not any zero velocities and high oscillations, and the red line is the stick-slip line. Choosing different initial conditions can lead the system into stick-slip or stable drilling
Phase portrait by changing initial conditions
ETP Annual Conference-10th October 2017
Time history shows stick-slip with initial conditions, zero top and bottom velocity, and zero relative displacement. The bit has zero velocities periodically with high oscillations (stick-slip)
Phase portrait with stick-slip for initial conditions, zero top and bottom velocity, and zero relative displacement. It can be identified by having zero velocity while the relative displacement is increasing
Torque on bit which is the total friction at bit at different velocities. To breakfree the bit and initiate the motion, the drive toque (Teb) must exceed the static friction torque (Tsb). After that the friction declines exponentially by increasing the bit velocity but rises again due to viscous friction at higher speeds
