Prediction of Critical Pipe Running Speed During Tripping in Drilling Operations

Blowout and loss of circulation are two serious accidents that can happen while drilling without the control on drillstring running speed during tripping operations. Exceeding the critical running speed during tripping-out (high swabbing pressure) and lack of control of mud rheology are the main cau...
