Analysis of downhole drilling vibrations : case studies of Manifa and Karan fields in Saudi Arabia

Downhole vibrations lead to downhole failures and decrease the rate of penetration (ROP). The bottom hole assembly (BHA) static and dynamic design is a key factor in optimizing drilling operations. The BHA should be designed to minimize the vibration levels in the axial, lateral, and torsional direc...
