Master Thesis Analysis of the oil well impactor mechanism under different conditions(2016) Mahmood Alkarawi, Walaa AbidDrilling process is one of vastly used manufacturing in oil and gas industry, there are plenty of studies that are looking for this complex process in academic and industry world. PDC drill bit is an important petroleum equipment in this process, therefore predictions of significant process variable such as torque, cutting force and stress distributions play an important role to keep the equipment life and the safety of the lives of workers. The researchers have found these variables by using experimental techniques which makes the investigation need long period time and have expensive cost. At this point, finite element modeling and simulation become the main to investigate these parameters. It can be expected that finite element Simulations can be used without conducting any experimental studies. This thesis covers a study investigating the effect of parameters on the drill bit, PDC modelling and simulation during the drilling process by using finite element method with software ABAQUS. For this purpose, drilling simulations of the PDC are performed. At the first step, the effect of drilling speed on torque and cutting force is investigated by comparing simulation result with experimental results that are found in the literature review. The effect of load force on torque and the values of rotary speed depend on data from experimental working from field NOOR WELL in south of Iraq are found. In addition, comparison of two different mesh sizes of element is performed and the results are compared with that of the literature. Then the effect of applied pressure on the drill bit is shown. Also the effect of kinetic energy and internal energy are considered. Lastly, element point in drill bit is set and the maximum stress results are listed from the beginning of the process to the end. The results corresponding to all of these parameters related with the process of the drill bit are taken as a reference point and then comparison for other impactors are conducted using ABAQUS.
