Industrial Seminar

A borehole, and the drillstring used to drill it, are long and thin, and so at low frequencies their acoustic behaviour is well described by one-dimensional equations. Despite the apparent simplicity of the equations, they exhibit a range of interesting behaviour, such as acoustic localization, radiation tunnelling and resonances with strong mean flow-rate dependence – all of which have practical implications.

In this talk I shall describe some of the practicalities of deep drilling, before showing how these acoustic phenomena arise.
