Abstract
The severe vibration of BHA directly affect the drilling efficiency, borehole trajectory, and wellbore quality. Therefore, it is crucial for developing dynamic mechanics of drill string system by studying the mechanical behavior of BHA. In this paper, considering the continuity condition of double-span drill collar, the expression of lateral vibration of drill collars is firstly obtained by using the assumption mode method. Then, the lateral vibration equation of double-span drill collar is derived by Lagrange equation. Finally, a self-programming model is established based on dynamic mechanics of drill string system, the lateral vibration characteristics of double-span drill collar in four different types of BHA is further determined by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm. It is obviously found that the lateral vibration is enhanced with increasing the length of drill collar; the rotation speed of BHA, weight on bit (WOB), and the size of stabilizer have a significant influence on the lateral vibration of drill collar. In the practical application, the lengths of the first-span and the second-span drill collar are given as 10 and 19 m, respectively; and the stabilizer diameter approached to bit diameter is recommend in practical gas drilling engineering; under WOB of 10–40 kN, the rotation speed of the drilling string should be controlled nearby 60 r/min. The theoretical investigation is a guidance for structure design of BHA and optimization of drilling parameter.
