AXIAL FORCE TRANSFER OF BUCKLED DRILL PIPE IN DEVIATED WELLS

The applications of these results are numerous for all deviated wells such as horizontal or extended reach drilling wells. This paper should contribute to reduce unpredictable lock-up situations and improve axial load transfer performance.

These results will enable to give some guidelines to help the drilling engineer to select cases where conventional buckling criteria should be used cautiously.
