StuckPipePro iconStuckPipePro - stuck pipe analysis model

Stuck pipe occurrences are widely held to be the most expensive drilling problem confronting the petroleum industry and the cost of correcting, even a single occurrence, can amount to millions of dollars.
StuckPipePro, developed by PVI and Chevron, calculates differential sticking force, stuck chance along drill strings or casings for pick up operation.
