Abstract: This paper analyzes several important issues on the drill string system dynamics model and its numerical algorithm. Firstly, it introduces the commonly used numerical methods and contact algorithms, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each method in detail. Secondly, it analyzes the application of explicit and implicit methods for the current stress iteration algorithm, and specifies the implicit algorithm should be used in the research of drill string system dynamics. This paper focuses on the research of damping model and bit-rock interaction model, solves the damping effect based on the theory of ocean wave mechanics, and establishes a simplified bit-rock interaction model. Finally, a virtual numerical simulation example shows that the method used in this paper can analyze the dynamic of drill string used in the 1,000-meter complex well bore. The research result of this paper has certain guiding meanings on the analysis of working behavior of extra-long pipe string in the complex well bore by using numerical methods in the oil field.

Abstract: The dynamic mechanics model was built up to analyze the contact-impact between drill string and wellbore according to the characteristics of contact-impact, based on non-linear finite element method and Lagrange method. The dynamic mechanics equations were deduced by the dynamic mechanics model. The stress and deformation field of drill string with different parameters of bottom hole were obtained and tested by experiments and numerical simulation respectively. And also, the propagation laws of stress wave generated by contact-impact in drill pipe were studied. The comprehensive results indicate that the numerical results agree well with the actual dynamic process of contact-impact. The stress waves generated by contact-impact cause the change of stress. The contact-impact between drill string and wellbore under air drilling is the main reason for early drill string failure.

Abstract: This paper uses cellular element method to propose a new calculating method for drill string dynamic model, and applies the calculating method on rigid packed hole assembly model. The results show that, this method has advantages of programming simply, applying boundary condition easily and rapid convergence rate. It is a new method for rigid packed hole assembly optimization design.
