Abstract In oil & gas drilling engineering, the rock breaking efficiency as well as the trajectory of the Well should be quantitatively and accurately described by an ideal triaxial Rate of Penetration (ROP) model, taking into account the various objective and subjective factors. However, with the existing triaxial ROP models, it is difficult to achieve these goals. The applications of the existing ROP models are limited, especially in under-balanced drilling (air drilling, foam drilling etc.), because the unloading effect (i.e. the effect of the bottom hole differential pressure on the formation force) has been rarely considered. On the basis of a… More >
