Namely, the effect of the drillstring-wellbore contact distribution is showed to have a substantial impact on the SOT performance. Consequently, it was proved that optimal SOT characteristics Off-Bottom are generally not enough to overcome the friction when drilling. In addition, the torque and drag model is applied to a real case study of an unconventional well with surface and downhole data.
