Abstract

This paper aims at constructing a novel hysteretic (non-reversible) bit-rock interaction model for the torsional dynamics of a drillstring. Non-reversible means that the torque on bit is not represented only in terms of the bit speed, but also of the bit acceleration, producing a hysteretic behavior. Here, the drillstring is considered as a continuous system which is discretized by means of the finite element method, where a reduced-order model is applied using the normal modes of the associated conservative system. The nonlinear torsional vibrations of the drillstring system are analyzed comparing the proposed bit-rock interaction model to a commonly used reversible model (without hysteresis). The parameters of the proposed hysteretic bit-rock interaction and of the commonly used reversible model are fitted to field data. Results show the system including a bit-rock interaction model with hysteresis effects reproduces a good approach of stick-slip cycle, and the simulated drillstring dynamics using the bit-rock interaction presents a similar behavior comparing to the field data.
