Methods for analysis of drillstring vibration using torsionally induced frequency modulation |
June 21, 1994 |
| Torsional oscillations of the drillstring will lead to frequency modulation (FM) of the signal from a vibratory source (e.g., the bit). This results, in the frequency domain, in sidebands being present around a detected excitation frequency. In accordance with the present invention, it h |
