Drilling Vibration Mitigation PDF

This document provides instructions for addressing three types of vibration that can occur while drilling: torsional vibration, lateral vibration, and axial vibration. It lists steps to take to stop the vibration such as reducing RPM and increasing weight on bit, and then steps to restart drilling safely such as slowly increasing RPM and WOB back to original levels. The overall process is to first stop drilling and reduce vibration, then slowly return drilling parameters to original values to avoid vibration resuming.

CURES

TORSIONAL VIBRATION (Stick-Slip)

LATERAL VIBRATION (Bit/BHA Whirl)

Axial Vibration (Bounce)

STOP drilling, pickup off bottom and monitor the vibration date from downhole tool to make sure that all vibration energy has been dissipated before making any changes
Place top drive in high gear Ensure Soft Torque operational

Decrease RPM by 10% Increase WOB by 10%


Repeat 3 times YES Does Vibration Continue? Repeat 3 times YES

Increase WOB by 2k-lbs Decrease RPM by same %

Decrease WOB by 5% Increase RPM by 10%


Repeat 3 times

YES

Does Vibration Continue? NO

NO NO Pickup off bottom allow string torque to unwind Restart drilling with 70 RPM Increase WOB to target value Increase RPM to original value

Does Vibration Continue?

Pickup off bottom allow string torque to unwind Restart drilling with 10% increased RPM Decrease WOB 15% to 20%

Pickup off bottom allow string torque to unwind Set RPM at 40-50% of original Increase WOB by 15-20% Gradually return RPM to original value

Vibration Resumes? Vibration Resumes? NO Pickup off bottom allow string torque to unwind Restart drilling with 70 RPM Increase WOB to target value Increase RPM to 25% of original value NO NO

Vibration Resumes?

Pickup off bottom allow string torque to unwind Restart drilling with 70 RPM Increase WOB 25% below original value Gradually return RPM to 15% above original value

Pickup off bottom Set RPM at 40-50% of original value Increase WOB by 15-20% Gradually return RPM to 25% below original

CONTINUE DRILLING
