Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0816630A1] The method of estimating the effective behaviour of a drill bit fixed at the end of a drill string and rotated in a shaft by surface motors, using a non linear physical model based on general mechanical equations with the following stages: the parameters of the model are identified taking into account the parameters of the shaft and the drill string; the model is reduced to a functional point; the linearised model is reduced, keeping only some of the proper modes of the matrix, and the displacement of or force on the drill bit is calculated in real time using the reduced model and at least one parameter measured at the surface. System of estimating the effective behaviour of such a drill bit using only the traction and compression of the drill string and the speed of rotation, vertical acceleration and/or the tension of the drill string.
