โฆ Synopsis
This paper analyses a control mechanism designed to signiยฎcantly ameliorate the sustained excitation of torsional relaxation oscillations (slipยฑstick) due to frictional torques generated by an active bit during drilling operations with an extended drill-string. The proposed mechanism of torsional rectiยฎcation is compared with existing soft-torque devices in a series of mathematical models. Both analytic and numerical simulations indicate that many of the volatilities suered by existing soft-torque feedback approaches used to combat slipยฑstick can be eliminated by the alternative proposed here.
