Abstract
Summary A 3D static mathematical model of a bottomhole assembly (BHA) including steerable downhole motor assembly under large deflection has been established. The forces and deflections of the drillstring have been accurately computed by making use of the method of weighted residuals, the weighted objective function, and the method of optimization to calculate the tangency point and to reduce the effect of the indistinct tangency point conditions. The effects of the weight on bit, the borehole geometry, the geometry and tool face rotation of the BHA on the bit building, and right walking force have been studied separately. There is a significant difference between the bit forces of large deflection analysis and small deflection analysis.
