Analysis of Hydraulic Jarring Dynamics and Calculation of Impact Force

Abstract:

Drilling jar is widely used to solve the stuck pipe incidents in the drilling process. Impact force which is being made during the jarring operation is acting on stuck point to achieve unfreezing effect. Conventional hydraulic dynamic load calculation method is not considering the impact of friction force on stress wave spreading in drill string. In actual process, friction and viscous resistance caused by the movement of drill string in drilling fluid, making drill string acceleration process exhibiting damped vibration characteristics. Therefore, with the drill string damping vibration theory, analysis of dynamics of acceleration process can be made, and displacement and velocity equation in longitudinal acceleration process can be deduced. Thus the maximum velocity of drill string before collision has been calculated, and impact force acting on the stuck point has been deduced with the law of conservation of energy and momentum. The model of impact force calculation is more satisfied with actual environment in the wellbore during jarring operation.
