What does it do?
Stuck pipe is one of the most common and costly causes of drilling non-productive time. When this occurs, selecting and implementing the most appropriate first action – and subsequent solution – often relies on the timely and accurate identification of the sticking mechanism at play, along with a thorough understanding of the mechanism and its causes. However, the exact mechanism may not be clear or obvious. By answering just a few questions on the situation before and after sticking, the Merlin Stuck Pipe Calculation diagnostic tool can help identify the most likely sticking mechanism and propose the most appropriate solution.
