The aim is to develop a novel model for predicting torque and drag in high-angle wells to enhance drilling performance.
Developed a simple model based on a soft-string concept for torque and drag management in high-angle wells.
Tested the model using field data from the Western Desert, Egypt, assessing accuracy with statistical analysis.
Considered various drilling parameters and practices for their impact on torque and drag calculations.
Achieved negligible error for drag calculations and 10% average error for torque calculations.
Established mathematical proof of the impact of survey station distance on torque and drag modeling.
Demonstrated practical reliability and quick application in the field.
