VibraSCOPE™ drillstring dynamics modeling software from NOV Downhole enables pre-well analysis of the BHA and drillstring. The software predicts parameters that initiate vibration and high impact loading that can lead to premature bit and/or downhole tool failures, utilizing finite element analysis to model the dynamics of the entire drillstring from the bit to the rig floor.

VibraSCOPE identifies combinations of operational conditions and/or drilling parameters that are more likely to result in detrimental axial, lateral, and/or torsional vibration while drilling. The results deliver a recommended set of drilling parameters based on a proven, scientific approach that minimizes the risk of vibration.
