Break Circulation Is To Establish The Flow After Static Conditions Like After Connection
The pressure
required to break circulation is
Pgs = ( y % 300 % d ) L
One needs more pressure in the drillstring to break gel than in the annulus
Shock depends on three factors. One is time, second is magnitude and third is frequency.
Axial
Along the axis of the drill strong. Bit bounce - damage bit teeth
Lateral
Torsional
BHA whirl
Large bore hole - happens in vertical wells. Forward- backward and chaotic whirl. Forward while
happens in the same direction as rotation of the drill string. Backward whirl is in opposite direction
which can result in excessive fatigue and result in washouts, twist off.
Whirl is associated with PDC bits because of aggressive nature of PDC cutting action.
Stick slip
Non uniform rotation of the drill string. BHA can stop and reverse the string. String stores the energy
from top drive. When store energy is released the BHA needs to catchup. Reverse action due to release
of energy
Eccentric
