Drilling Dynamics & Dysfunction Mitigation

Wednesday, 18 March

0800 - 1005

Grand Ballroom B

Technical Session

This session explores advanced methods for detecting and mitigating vibration and drilling dysfunctions through sensor-based diagnostics, modeling, and formation-specific BHA optimization. Presentations highlight real-time data applications and engineering strategies that improve drilling efficiency and reduce nonproductive time.
