What About My Rig?
Room for Improvement
• Gather data
• Overview
• Look for specifics
• Solve for the easiest
• Test the solution
• Keep learning
![Page 19: The SPE Foundation through member donations and a ... · Drilling Vibration Management Lecturer’s Name: Alan Clarke, SPE Company Name: National Oilwell Varco, Director of Advanced](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020204/5b528e657f8b9a35278d67c0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Vibration Event and Solution

Increase energy available
to the drillstring

Conclusion
Why was ROP
so poor?
Poor bit selection?
High Coupled Vibration is driver
for ROP loss
Formation effect for Lateral
Vibration
Torsional Vibration coupled to Lat
Vibration
WOB dependency evident
Surface paramaters must vary
per vibration zone
