dc.description.abstract | This
thesis
presents
the
analysis
of
the
factors
that
affect
the
target
depth.
Depth
measurement
is
one
the
most
important
parameter
and
most
difficult
to
identify.
For
the
target
depth
measurement
key
factors
that
affecting
the
drill
string
that
is
pressure
temperature,
axial
load,
drag
and
the
errors
in
the
surveys
is
described
in
the
study.
For
the
study
a
realistic
well
geometry
and
drilling
string
parameters
were
considered.
WELLLPLAN
TM
software
and
Microsoft
Excel
are
used
for
the
calculation
and
graph.
In
the
analysis
phase
most
of
the
factors
that
affect
the
target
depth
in
deviated
well
are
discussed
and
the
emphasis
is
on
the
key
factors
that
are
the
major
contributors
in
wellbore
position
uncertainty.
This
study
presents
two
major
areas:
• The
first
one
is
sensitivity
study
in
order
to
investigate
the
effect
of
survey
uncertainty
on
various
parameters
such
as
dogleg
severity,
vertical
section,
tortuosity
and
torque.
This
was
done
by
introducing
+/-‐
10%
error
in
inclination
and
azimuth.
The
result
is
compared
with
the
reference
survey
well
data.
• The
second
part
is
to
calculate
the
elongations
due
to
mechanical
loading,
thermal
and
hydraulic
effects.
The
analysis
was
under
various
drilling
operations
like
“tripping
in”,
“rotate
on
bottom”,
“tripping
out”,
“rotate
off
bottom”
and
“slide
drilling”.
The
details
of
the
analysis
result
shown
in
Chapter
§3.
Here
some
of
the
result
is
presented
as
the
following:
a) +/-‐10%
error
affects
on
the
graphs
like
dogleg
severity,
vertical
section
and
tortuosity
and
deviate
the
wellpath
from
the
reference
well
data.
It
also
shows
the
torque
will
increase
and
decrease
due
to
effect
of
the
errors.
b) Elongation
due
to
pressure
effect
on
the
reference
geometry
is
about
10
ft.
for
tripling
in
and
12
ft.
for
tripping
out
operation.
c) Elongation
due
to
temperature
on
the
reference
geometry
is
8.23
ft.
d) Loading
effect
on
the
reference
geometry
is
from
5
ft.
for
sliding
drilling
and
to
8.4
ft.
for
tripping
out.
e) Total
elongation
due
to
key
factors
on
the
reference
geometry
is
23ft.
for
sliding
drilling,
25.5
ft.
for
tripping
in
and
rotate
on
bottom
and
to
28.6
ft.
for
tripping
out. | no_NO |
