    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method comprises quantifying a condition of a wellbore into which a string is to be deployed, wherein quantifying the condition of the wellbore comprises, determining at least one geometrical parameter of the wellbore; and determining at least one mechanical parameter of the string that is caused by deploying the string downhole into the wellbore. The method also comprises determining a string runnability index for running the string into the wellbore based on the quantified condition of the wellbore.

    Abstract: A system for drilling a borehole at a wellsite, the system including a BHA with a drill bit and operable to drill the borehole as part of a borehole drilling operation using a modeled operational parameter. The system also includes a sensor located in the borehole and operable to measure an actual operational parameter in real-time. A controller including a processor performs operations that include: determining a modeled result for the borehole drilling operation using a well engineering model; receiving the measurement of the actual operational parameter from the sensor; determining an actual result for the borehole drilling operation using the well engineering model; automatically calibrating the well engineering model using the modeled result and the actual result to produce a calibrated well engineering model; and adjusting the modeled operational parameter of the drilling operation based on the calibrated well engineering model.

    Abstract: The disclosure presents apparatuses and systems to reduce drag and friction forces on a drill string located downhole a borehole. The drill string can have two or more movement isolators to allow a movement sensitive tool to be movement isolated from other portions of the drill string that have powered movement. The other drill string portions can be powered by a surface equipment or by a downhole movement motor attached to the drill string, such as a rotational mud motor, an agitator, a jar motor, or a rotary steerable. Portions of the drill string located further downhole than the movement sensitive tool can utilize a movement motor attached to the drill string to provide movement to reduce drag and friction force where the movement isolators can reduce the movement force experienced by the movement sensitive tool.

    Abstract: The disclosure presents processes for improving the design phase of plastic material lined tubular structures used downhole of a borehole. A plastic material lined tubular structure model is utilized for tubular structures that have a metal layer, a grout layer, and a plastic material layer. The model can use a modified wall thickness for the metal layer. A strength model can be applied to the modified critical dimensions, e.g., wall thickness parameters. A thermal model can be applied to the tubular structure to determine pressure and temperature parameters. The strength model and the thermal model outputs can be utilized by a stress analyzer to determine loads, safety factors, and design limit parameters. The plastic material lined tubular structure model can enable more efficient use of tubular structures, designing a longer operational lifetime, such as in acidic environments, or the use of thinner structures while maintaining a satisfactory operational lifetime.

    Abstract: A system can provide for determining characteristics loss in a wellbore. The system can include a processor and a non-transitory memory with instructions that are executable by the processor for causing the processor to execute operations. The operations can include receiving, from sensors in a wellbore, data corresponding to loss indicators. The operations can include determining a loss probability for each loss indicator. The operations can include determining a total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore based on the loss probabilities. The operations can include outputting the total loss probability to be used in a drilling operation in the wellbore.

    Abstract: A method comprises determining a value of at least one oppositional force for a drillstring at multiple depths in the wellbore, determining a value of hook load for the drillstring at the multiple depths based on the value of the at least one opposition force at the multiple depths, and determining a calibrated drillstring weight based on a change in the value of the hook load over the multiple depths of the wellbore. The change in the value of the hook load can be determined based on a change in a measured hook load and/or a change in an estimated hook load. From the calibrated drillstring weight, an adjusted estimated hook load can be determined.
