Analysis of factors affecting drilling friction and investigation of the friction reduction tool in horizontal wells in Sichuan

Based on field data and the related theories, the effects of drill string length, rotation speed, trajectory, and drilling fluid density on the friction during horizontal well drilling are analyzed in Sichuan. With increasing the length of drill string in the horizontal section, the friction grows....
