Abstract
Undesired vibrations in drill-strings, like stick-slip oscillations, reduces drilling performance and increases the costs. The main uncertainties in drilling operation are because of bit-rock interaction and becomes more important when variations in the rock being drilled are observed. This work is focused on the modelling of the uncertainties in bit-rock interaction when there is a transition between two rock layers and the consequences in torsional dynamics. The drill-string is modelled with one degree-of-freedom where the top speed is prescribed, a viscous friction represents the drilling mud and a non-linear model describes bit-rock interaction. Rock strength data available in literature served as inspiration to build models to describe rock layers transitions; moreover, uncertainties are included in the parameters. The stochastic dynamic response of the system is assessed and the conclusions are presented.
