    Abstract: Various embodiments include apparatus and methods to provide an estimation of casing wear. One method determines values of casing and drill string variables and constants. These constants and variables are used to dynamically generate an estimate of casing wear, based on a stress theory. The drilling operation can be halted when the estimate of casing wear reaches a predetermined value.

    Abstract: The embodiments include systems and methods to determine torque and drag of a string. A method includes analyzing a plurality of continuous segments of a string deployed in a wellbore, and determining a deflection of the plurality of continuous segments from a node of the string and a tortuosity deflection of the wellbore. In response to a determination that deflection of the plurality of continuous segments from the node of the string is greater than the tortuosity deflection of the wellbore, the method includes applying a soft string model to determine a torque and a drag of the string. In response to a determination that deflection of the plurality of continuous segments from the node of the string is not greater than the tortuosity deflection of the wellbore, the method includes applying a stiff string model to determine a torque and a drag of the string.

    Abstract: Multiple projected rate of penetration (ROP) values can be determined for purposes of adjusting well tools and well characteristics. For example, surface data can be determined based on a surface sensor signal. Downhole data can be determined based on a downhole sensor signal. A first value indicating a first projected ROP of a drill bit can be determined by providing the surface data as input to a first machine-learning model. A second value indicating a second projected ROP of the drill bit can be determined by providing the downhole data as input to a second machine-learning model. A third value indicating a third projected ROP of the drill bit can be determined by providing the first value and the second value input to a third machine-learning model. An operating characteristic of a well tool can be adjusted based on the third value.
