    Abstract: Systems and methods for computer aided pipe string design based on existing string designs are provided. A string type for a current string design is determined based on input received from a user via a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI enables the user to create the current string design within a graphical design area of the GUI using string components selected from a component selection area of the GUI. A components list is generated based one component data associated with the previously created string designs and a set of component properties that uniquely identify individual components of the previously created string designs. The generated list of components is filtered based on one or more filtering parameters related to the current string design and the previously created string designs. The filtered list for a selected component category is displayed within the component selection area of the GUI.

    Abstract: Drilling system and methods may employ a weight-on-bit optimization for an existing drilling mode and, upon transitioning to a different drilling mode, determine an initial weight-on-bit within a range derived from: a sinusoidal buckling ratio, a helical buckling ratio, and the weight-on-bit value for the prior drilling mode. The sinusoidal buckling ratio is the ratio of a minimum weight-on-bit to induce sinusoidal buckling in a sliding mode to a minimum weight-on-bit to induce sinusoidal buckling in a rotating mode, and the helical buckling ratio is the ratio of a minimum weight-on-bit to induce helical buckling in the sliding mode to a minimum weight-on-bit to induce helical buckling in the rotating mode. The ratios are a function of the length of the drill string and hence vary with the position of the drill bit along the borehole.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for developing and presenting wellbore pipe string related operation engineering parameter roadmaps in hydrocarbon reservoir modeling are disclosed. A computer-implemented method may include receiving a plurality of depth intervals, associating different computational model calculations with each depth interval, selecting input parameter values for each set of computational model calculations, generating computational model results for each set of computational model calculations associated with each interval to yield a graphical interval plot for the depth interval; and displaying a plurality of graphical interval plots together on a wellbore roadmap. A control list for the roadmap is correspondingly generated and dynamically linked to the wellbore roadmap so that individual entries in the control list are associated with individual interval plots.

    Abstract: System and methods for optimizing parameters for drilling operations are provided. A target value of a user-selected operating variable is estimated for each stage of a drilling operation to be performed along a planned well path, based on a first set of wellsite data. Values of one or more drilling parameters are determined for performing each stage of the operation, based on the estimated target value of the operating variable for that stage. The target value of the operating variable is updated based on a second set of wellsite data obtained during a current stage of the operation. The values of the drilling parameters are optimized for subsequent stages of the drilling operation based on the updated target value. The planned path of the well is adjusted for the subsequent stages, based on the optimized drilling parameter values. The subsequent stages are performed along the adjusted path of the well.
