Stuck pipe occurrences are widely held to be the most expensive drilling problem confronting the petroleum industry and the cost of correcting, even a single occurrence, can amount to millions of dollars. StuckPipePro, developed by PVI and Chevron, calculates differential sticking force, stuck chance along drill strings or casings for pick up operation.

- 1. Pegasus Vertex, Inc. Drilling Software | Sophisticated Yet Simple StuckPipePro Stuck Pipe Analysis A stuck pipe can result from a wide variety of causes. Typically, these causes are grouped into mechanical sticking and differential sticking. Mechanical sticking can be caused by key seating, under gauge holes, wellbore instability, poor hole cleaning and other related causes. Differential sticking typically occurs when high-contact forces caused by low reservoir pressures, high wellbore pressures, or both, are exerted over a sufficiently large area of the drill string. Stuck pipe occurrences are widely held to be the most expensive drilling problem confronting the petroleum industry and the cost of correcting them can amount to millions of dollars. The analysis of well data to predict the chances of a drill string getting stuck is becoming more important. Pegasus Vertex, Inc. (PVI) has developed StuckPipePro to calculate differential sticking force, drag, the free point and back-off force, and the potential chances of a pipe or casing getting stuck during pick-up operations. Additionally, the stuck mechanical analysis and decision flow charts help users determine stuck-pipe situations and take corresponding measures to free the pipe. 6100 Corporate Dr., Ste 448, Houston, TX 77036, USA | Tel: (713) 981-5558 | Fax: (713) 981-5556 | www.pvisoftware.com
