Abstract
A system for optimizing a rate-of-penetration of a drill string includes a plurality of sensors in operable communication with the drill string and a controller in operable communication with the plurality of sensors. The controller is connectable to a downhole active vibration control device and capable of outputting a signal to the downhole active vibration control device for optimizing the rate-of-penetration of the drill string.
Claims27
A system for optimizing a rate-of-penetration of a drill string, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors in operable communication with the drill string;
- and
- a controller in operable communication with the plurality of sensors, the controller connectable to a downhole active vibration control device and capable of outputting a signal to the downhole active vibration control device for optimizing the rate-of-penetration of the drill string, wherein
- the signal is configured to limit vibration of the drill string and the vibration comprises torsional vibration.
A method for optimizing a rate-of-penetration of a drill string in a borehole, the method comprising:
- receiving a measurement from at least one sensor in a plurality of sensors in operative communication with the drill string;
- and
- transmitting a signal from a controller to a downhole active vibration control device for optimizing the rate-of-penetration of the drill string, the signal being configured to limit vibration of the drill string and the vibration comprising torsional vibration.
A system for optimizing a rate-of-penetration of a drill string, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors in operable communication with the drill string;
- and
- a controller in operable communication with the plurality of sensors, the controller connectable to a downhole active vibration control device and capable of outputting a signal to the downhole active vibration control device for optimizing the rate-of-penetration of the drill string, wherein
- the downhole active vibration control device comprises a vibration control element configured to extend from the active vibration control device to a borehole wall in order to absorb or control vibration.
