The impact of vibration mechanism’ installation place on the process of retrieving stuck drill pipe

Purpose. The present paper studies the dependence of the dynamic oscillatory movements in the area of drill string sticking on the parameters of vibrating mechanism and place of its installation in the heavy weight drill pipe. The authors focus specifically on conditions responsible for resonant vibrations excitation in the drill string, which facilitates the release of stuck drill pipe. The aim is to use the results of the research in the development of the method for vibrator application, to work out recommendations concerning the choice of its installation place in the heavy weight drill pipe, its tuning to the resonant frequency, the choice of induced force amplitude.
