SlickBore Analysis
The SlickBore matched drilling system consists of a pin down motor, a bit, and associated modeling. Most of the problems we have with the SlickBore system are related to the bit design, the modeling and execution of the job. The use of the long gauge bits generate higher bit torque than conventional bits and this represents one of the key issues for the bit design. As a result, the gauge OD is slightly undergauge (1/8 to 1/32, depending on the formations, mud type and hole size. Full-gauge sleeves should never be used with SlickBore system BHAs.
Bit Tilt -0.056 to 0.086 Force Contact moved to the PAD from Stb1
6.3 Bit to Stb1 4.3 Bit to Stb1
By reducing the Bit to Stb1 distance the effect is to increase the deflection of the BHA.

SlickBore Analysis
To analysis the SlickBore BHA, various details need to be modified. 1. Line #1 Bit SlickBore PDC
a. b. c. d. OD = Motor Diameter (6.75) ID = 2-3 (3.00) Gauge = Hole Size (8.5) Length = Hole Diameter (0.71)
2. Line #2 PDM
a. b. c. d. 6.3/4 Sperrydrill .. OD = Motor Diameter (6.75) ID should be automatic (4.465) Select detail Y/N enter the standard FTC bearing Ft Bend to Btm Motor (6.69) e. Check STAB with a distance of 0.1 to represent the Bit Sleeve with a blade OD of 1/16 UG (SlickBore Bit = Bit+Sleeve)

3. Bend angle would be set one setting below what was run previously or in an offset well. If no previous information is available then use one bend size less than you would use for the required build rate expected with a conventional steerable assembly. 4. Ideally the bit interference should be between 0 and 1. If it is too high the ABH will drag in the wellbore and the fulcrum at the heel of the bit will not react as required. The calculations are on pages C.1.20 and C.1.21 in the Sperrydrill Technical Information Handbook

5. Select the second stabilizer and ensure the Blade Gauge is UG by 5-10% of the hole size 8.50 would be 8 - (8.00) 6. The second stabilizer can be entered into the BHA Detailed listing and therefore should be left blank in the Motor Configuration table. If it is in both tables, then a third stabilizer will appear in the calculations. 7. Set the inclination to 15, the Formation Index to 1. 8. Run the Force Analysis calculation, oriented highside making sure the WOB and other parameters are realistic (as programmed in the drilling plan). Rerun later at higher values as required fir Inclination and Formation Index and see how these affect the results
9. The profile should show the BHA centered in the hole and no contact between the bend and the wellbore. The BHA should not exceed the wellbore. The black vertical stabilizer line in the graphic is the heel of the SlickBore system bit (the fulcrum).
10. The bending moment will be high and concentrated at the bit sleeve, which is right where you want it to be. This is the force that makes steering of the SlickBore system possible. Note also that there are no indications of any abrupt changes in the bending forces over the rest of the BHA (apart from a deflection at the second motor top stabilizer) which is relatively relaxed.
11. The slope curve change at the bend should be nearly equally distributed across the zero point of the Y axis. If this shows a change in slope that is too negative, there is a serious bend or stabilization problem that needs to be addressed. Check the bit displacement and interference calculation. 12. Not repeat using the Equilibrium Rate calculation.
13. In most applications, the Equilibrium Rate will be near neutral, indicating neither a build or drop tendency while rotating. If a build or drop tendency while rotating is desirable, this is where you can make the necessary adjustments to balance the assembly. This BUR can most effectively be adjusted by making slight changes to the gauge and / or position of the second stabilizer 8.0 to 8.1/4 changed build to drop.
14. Finally check the Oriented Highside build rates. These should be compared to build rates on previous runs and the Formation Index can then be changed to reflect this difference but remember this also affects the rotary rates and you may have to change the top stabilizer again. This is a repetitive system and it will take a number of iterations to complete your analysis. Once that is complete, you need to run Whirl and check Vibration.
Do not use Full Gauge stabilizers. If an AGS is to be run above the mudmotor run for retracted and expanded positions.
