Torque & Drag analysis
Advanced drilling, casing and completion operations analysis
Oliasoft WellDesign’s Torque and Drag functionality generates torque and drag calculations through forensic analysis of drilling, casing, and completion operations
- Use Oliasoft Torque and Drag to analyze drilling, casing, and completion operations, and assess the impact of predicted loads related to torque and drag in soft and hybrid string configurations.
- Calculate torque, drag, including tension, fatigue, buckling, triaxial stress, and side forces at any point of the string for multiple scenarios.
- Visualise standard plots including hook load, tension, stress analysis and buckling, and access 3D views of downhole drillstring showing side forces, string clearance and torque and drag levels.
- Harness the functionality with the full power of Oliasoft WellDesign to run sensitivity on torque and drag based on a large number of trajectory or casing designs.
- Perform torque and drag in real-time operations for stress predictions, and run calculations during drilling to get the optimal views of every stage of the drilling operations process.
