    摘要: A method of drilling a borehole in an earth formation includes deploying a drilling assembly including a drill bit and a drill string, and performing a drilling operation according to one or more operational parameters to advance the drilling assembly through the formation, wherein performing the drilling operation includes rotating the drill bit and at least a portion of the drill string. The method also includes, during the advancing, monitoring a downhole condition, determining whether the downhole condition indicates at least one of a cuttings accumulation in the borehole and wear of a downhole component, and in response to the downhole condition indicating the cuttings accumulation or the wear, adjusting at least one operational parameter to induce or adjust an oscillating motion in the drill string, the oscillating motion causing at least one of a reduction in the cuttings accumulation and a reduction of wear of the downhole component.

    摘要: Examples of techniques for performing a wellbore construction operation in a wellbore are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes: performing a rheology test on a test fluid, the test fluid being representative of a fluid pumped through the wellbore, to generate test fluid data; performing, by the processing device, a data analysis on the test fluid data to generate at least one parameterized correlation; measuring a first property of the fluid to generate measured data; calculating, by the processing device, a second property of the fluid in the wellbore by using the parameterized correlations and the measured data to generate calculated data; and changing a parameter of the wellbore construction operation based at least in part on the calculated data.

    摘要: A system for drilling a well comprises a tubular member having a bottomhole assembly at a bottom end thereof disposed in a wellbore. A first sensor is disposed in the bottomhole assembly at a predetermined axial location for detecting bending in a first axis and generating a first bending signal in response thereto, where the first axis is substantially orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the bottomhole assembly. A second sensor is disposed in the bottomhole assembly at the predetermined axial location for detecting bending in a second axis and generating a second bending signal in response thereto, where the second axis is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. A processor receives the first bending signal and the second bending signal and relates the first bending signal and the second bending signal to a borehole curvature according to programmed instructions.
