Abstract :
Present article results of study on possibility of increasing the efficiency of drilling directional straight
sections of wells using screw downhole motors (SDM) with a combined method of drilling with
rotation of drilling string (DS). Goal is to ensure steady-state operation of SDM with simultaneous
rotation of DS by reducing the amplitude of oscillations with adjusting the parameters of drilling mode
on the basis of mathematical modeling for SDM – DS system. Results of experimental study on
determination of extreme distribution of lateral and axial oscillations of SDM frame depending on
geometrical parameters of gerotor mechanism and modes ensuring stable operation are presented.
Approaches to develop a mathematical model and methodology are conceptually outlined that allow
determining the range of self-oscillations for SDM – DS system and boundaries of rotational and
translational wave perturbations for a heterogeneous rod with an installed SDM at drilling directional
straight sections of well. This mathematical model of SDM – DS system's dynamics makes it possible
to predict optimal parameters of directional drilling mode that ensure stable operation of borehole
assembly.
