1018/2017 Reactive Torque -Drllng Guide -Netwas Group Ot Netwas Group Oil » Drilling Guide Reactive Torque Last Updated on Mon, 02 Oct 2017 | Briling Guide A clockwise rotating downhole motor tke the Navi-dril apples right-hand toraue to the bit. An equal but reverse torque is therefore created and given by to the stator housing, which equals the torque consumed by the bit. Called ‘reactive torque', It can easily be controlled by the operator, by controling weight on bit During directional driling, this reactive torque must be taken Into consideration, because it tends te force the drill string tothe left. The actual amount of twist angle created by reactive torque depens upon: 4. Weight on bit 2. Type and length of drill pipes 3, Inclination of hole 4, Type and length of dril calars and heavy weight drill pipes 5. IF installed, number and placement of stabilizers. _ se Gb ba aay Pigurt 6: Nav-Orll Mach 3»1tt| bam tub Figure 1: Navi-Drll Mach 3 wilh Klek- atf lub ‘The occuring torsional angle of a drill string with a mud motor may be determined roughly as follows: ‘© Measure the standpipe pressure with the bit on bottom, when flowrate and weight on bit are adjusted to driling conditions. ‘+ Measure the standpipe pressure when the bit is lifted off bottom with the flow rate being kept constant, © Calculate cifference in standpipe pressure, ‘© When 2 diamond bit is run, reduce above value by the bit's pressure drop. ‘© Read reactive torque values for calculated diferential pressure ‘out of tables. ‘© Read torsional angle for 1000 ft.
