Software > Torque & Drag & Buckling Management

DrillScan has developed a Torque & Drag & Buckling module, based on a high-quality scientific code (ABIS) developed at Mines ParisTech. It is a powerful tool to assess torque and drag and buckling for casing and drillstrings during various operations. This software is every bit as strong and robust as finite element analysis but uses a new numerical methodology that makes it much faster.

Engineering features
  • 3D stiff-string & soft-string model
  • Powerful drillstring-hole interaction contact calculation algorithm
  • Simultaneous torque/drag/buckling calculations
  • Hole size and clearance effects
  • Micro and macro tortuosity effects
  • Hydraulics effects on drillstring mechanics
  • Non-steel material management
Applications
  • Well planning, drillstring design & monitoring while drilling
  • Drilling, completion & work over operations
  • Casing & liner running
  • Casing while drilling
  • Coiled tubing
