In the process of window milling in the
casing wall for sidetracking using rotary system, the drillstring is subject to
differentreversalloadsresultingfrom
bending moment in the window zone and torque from the rotary table.
The objective of the work was to determine critical bending loads at certain wedge
angle and the number of cycles
in terms of drill pipes safety.
Materials and methods
Mathematical Methods
Based on theoretical studies of the
technique of determining the
permissible value of the deflection
angle of the wedge, which allows
to exclude the emergency
demolition of the drill
string for sidetracking
rotary.
