    Abstract: A system can generate, via a software model, downhole pressure estimations and downhole debris estimations using caving parameters. Additionally, the system can generate, via the software model, settled caving volume percent estimations using the caving parameters. The system can determine a pack off volume percent using the downhole pressure estimations, the downhole debris estimations, and the settled caving volume percent estimations. The system can output, via a user interface, the pack off indicator and a subset of the caving parameters for use in adjusting a wellbore operation. The user interface can provide a plot of the pack off volume percent horizontally offset with respect to a plot of the subset of the caving parameters and a depth of the wellbore.

    Abstract: A system can generate a trip map for adjusting a tripping operation in a wellbore. The system can receive input data from a downhole tool in a wellbore. The system can determine parameters for the tripping operation. The system can determine an overall condition for an interval of the wellbore based on the parameters. The system can determine a status for the parameters and for the overall condition based on a difference between the parameters or the overall condition and a corresponding optimized value. The system can generate a trip map using the parameters and the overall condition. The trip map can include a background shape and a polygon that can be positioned on the background shape. The polygon can include corners corresponding to the parameters and overall condition that are positioned angularly around the background. The trip map can be output to adjust the tripping operation.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology provide techniques for determining frictional forces bearing on a downhole drill string. In some implementations, a method of the disclosed technology can include steps for segmenting a plurality of continuous nodes of the drilling string into a first segment and a second segment, computing a first set of values corresponding with one or more nodes in the first segment using a first model, computing a second set of values corresponding with one or more nodes in the second segment using a second model, and determining a torque of the drill string based on the first set of values and the second set of values. In some aspects, the method can further include steps for determining a drag force on the drill string based on the first set of values and the second set of values. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

    Abstract: A method comprises determining a measure of drilling efficiency, such as a friction factor or mechanical specific energy, of a drill bit used in a drilling operation of a wellbore and performing video analytics of at least one video that includes a substantially complete view of the wear surfaces of a drill bit to determine drill bit wear of the drill bit that is a result of the drilling operation of the wellbore. The method includes determining a cause of the drill bit wear based on the measure of drilling efficiency and the drill bit wear determined by performing video analytics. Based on correlation or modeling of drill bit wear and the measure of drilling efficiency, drill bit wear can be predicted and some types of drilling dysfunction mitigated in subsequent drilling runs.

    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 solutions for determining a casing wear parameter. Image collecting or capturing devices can be used to capture visual frames of a section of drilling pipe during a trip out operation. The visual frames can be oriented to how the drilling pipe was oriented within the borehole during a drilling operation. The visual frames can be analyzed for wear, e.g., surface changes, of the drilling pipe. The surface changes can be classified as to the type, depth, volume, length, shape, and other characteristics. The section of drilling pipe can be correlated to a depth range where the drilling pipe was located during drilling operations. The surface changes, with the depth range, can be correlated to an estimated casing wear to generate the casing wear parameter. An analysis of multiple sections of drilling pipe can be used to improve the locating of sections of casing where wear is likely.

    Abstract: A well operation simulator predicts temperature and pressure profiles of a multi-tubing completion well for well design. The simulator is comprised of modules, which when executed, determine a first set of design limits based on stress conditions arising from the temperature and pressure profiles from a multi-tubing drilling module and a multi -tubing production module for drilling and production operations. A multi-tubing multi-string module predicts the annular fluid expansion (AFE) and annular pressure buildup (APB) of the multi-tubing well from the previously calculated temperature profile, pressure profile, and stress conditions and determines a second set of design limits with the AFE/APB effects in addition to the temperature profile and pressure profile predicted from multi-tubing drilling module and multi-tubing production module. The first and second sets of design limits are depicted using one or
