A review of down-hole tubular string buckling in well engineering

DL Gao, WJ Huang - Petroleum Science, 2015 - Springer
Down-hole tubular string buckling is the most classic and complex part of tubular string
mechanics in well engineering. Studies of down-hole tubular string buckling not only have …

A critical review of the heavy elastica

CY Wang - International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 1986 - Elsevier
The heavy elastica models thin or slender elements with non-negligible density. The non-
linear governing equation depends on a non-dimensional parameter representing the …

Drill pipe buckling in inclined holes

R Dawson - Journal of Petroleum technology, 1984 - onepetro.org
In high-angle wells the force of gravity pulls the drill string against the low side of the hole.
This stabilizes the string and allows drill pipe to carry high axial loads without buckling. In …

Tubing buckling—the state of the art

RF Mitchell - SPE Drilling & Completion, 2008 - onepetro.org
Almost unique in engineering analysis is the problem of tubing buckling in wellbores. In
general, structures loaded above their critical load fail catastrophically. Yet, both tubing and …

Lateral drillstring vibrations in extended-reach wells

G Heisig, M Neubert - SPE/IADC Drilling Conference and Exhibition, 2000 - onepetro.org
Drillstring dynamics and hole cleaning problems are some of the most important limiting
factors in extended reach applications. Here, long sections of the drillstring lie on the low …

Effects of boundary conditions and friction on static buckling of pipe in a horizontal well

G Gao, S Miska - Spe Journal, 2009 - onepetro.org
A comprehensive buckling model, a group of fourth-order nonlinear ordinary differential
equations, was derived by applying the principle of virtual work. Lateral friction force is …
