Abstract
Today, pilot wells are used for sampling the layers of the earth during deviation drilling. In order to reduce costs and facilitate operations in situations where it is not possible to use a pilot well for coring, coring studies are carried out in a deviant manner. Investigating the effect of drilling parameters on penetration rate in core drilling of deviated wells is important to optimize operations. In this regard, the rate of penetration is studied and simulated by preparing concrete samples for coring in a deviant way with laboratory devices, so that it reaches the most optimal state with the least amount of time, along with the necessary safety. In this research, cubic concrete samples with uniaxial compressive strength of 30 MPa and porosity of 31% have been used, and the effect of these parameters on the rate of penetration has been investigated by applying various weight on bit and angles of deviation. According to the experiments, the direct effect of the weight on bit on the penetration rate until reaching the turning point and the optimal value was observed. Also, by increasing the extra weight on bit, it causes a change in the mechanism of the bit's performance in drilling and loses its tangential state and causes the small particles of the sample to be torn off, which reduces the life of the drill bit.
