METHODS TO ESTIMATE DOWNHOLE DRILLING VIBRATION INDICES FROM SURFACE MEASUREMENT

摘要

Method to estimate severity of downhole vibration for a wellbore drill tool assembly, comprising: identifying a dataset comprising selected drill tool assembly parameters; selecting a reference downhole vibration index for the drill tool assembly; identifying a surface parameter and calculating a reference surface vibration attribute for the selected reference downhole vibration index; determining a surface vibration attribute derived from at least one surface measurement or observation obtained in a drilling operation, the determined surface vibration attribute corresponding to the identified surface parameter; and estimating a downhole vibration index by evaluating the determined surface vibration attribute with respect to the identified reference surface vibration attribute.
