Drill String Mechanics

  • Reinforce your knowledge in drill string mechanics by using advanced technologies and real case studies (using DrillScan's WellScan proprietary software)

  • Get a solid theoretical background on Torque & Drag & Buckling

  • Gain an understanding on Casing Wear and Fatique and their impacts on the well architecture and drill pipe

  • Enhance drill string design through analysis of possible failure due to vibrations

  • Learn how to derive appropriate friction factors and hole overgauges through a post-analysis process
