    Abstract: Estimating casing wear during a reciprocation portion of a drilling operation may take into account the forces that cause casing wear during the up and down strokes independently. For example, during a drilling operation, a method may include reciprocating the drill string through the wellbore for a plurality of up strokes and a plurality of down strokes according to reciprocation parameters; calculating an up stroke normal force and a down stroke normal force for the casing or a section thereof; calculating up and down stroke casing wears based on the up and down stroke normal forces, respectively, using a reciprocation casing wear model; calculating a reciprocation casing wear based on the up and down stroke casing wears; and calculating a total casing wear for the casing or the section thereof based on the reciprocation casing wear using a total casing wear model.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include apparatus and methods to perform a load analysis for multi-off-center tools. Off-center components of a completion string experience additional downhole side and drag forces due to contact with casing and liner walls which may lead to excessive loading and stresses leading to failures. Systems and techniques are provided to analyze such situations. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
