Forensic drilling, casing and completion operations analysis
Use Oliasoft Torque and Drag to analyse drilling, casing, and completion operations, and assess the impact of predicted loads related to torque and drag in soft string, stiff string, and hybrid configurations. Calculate scenarios including tension, fatigue, buckling and triaxial stress.
Torque and Drag supports full soft string, hybrid and stiff string analysis, and can calculate torque, drag, buckling 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.
Our API allows integration with any third-party software for automation or integration with other external or internal calculation engines.
Perform torque and drag in real-time operations for stress predictions and friction factor calibration. Run calculations during drilling to get the optimal views of every stage of the drilling operations process.
