Abstract
Aimed at the drillpipe piercement of Well BA6S in Pinghu Oilfield of East China Sea, failure mechanism was researched in detail by analyzing the physical and chemical performances of intermediate belt, the stress distribution and flow characteristics of intermediate belt under the combined action of tension, bending and torsion, and the dynamic characteristics based on actual well trajectory and the fatigue characteristics of drill string. The results show that the individual parts of the coating thickness is seriously thin, more nitrides in the material of drillpipe which reduce impact toughness and high stress on intermediate belt raises the risk of drillpipe failure under combined load. There are distinct whirl phenomenons near the intermediate belt and the total pressure on drillpipe from internal flow field is large. Large dogleg srverity increases the dynamic fatigue coefficient, easily leading to drill string fatigue failure.
