Course content
The course covers a range of state-of-the-art models that describes various aspects in drillstring dynamics, such as surge and swab motions, torque and drag, bit rock interactions, axial, torsional and lateral vibration states. There is a focus on models that are particularly suited for real-time implementations, even though this is not an absolute requirement. The compulsory exercises involve substantial programming in Python, Matlab or equivalent.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
- Deep understanding of problems in drilling and how models can mitigate these problems.
Skills:
- Ability to implement models in computers.
- Ability to select a proper model based on the problem at hand.
- Ability to justify the choice of method.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, colloquium, discussions and projects.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a final oral exam (50%) and evaluation of compulsory exercises/work (50%). The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio grade is assigned as pass/fail. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
