Don't miss this presentation at the IADC's Advanced Rig Technology (ART) Conference & Exhibition, to be held from August 27-28 at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Austin, Texas! We will show the development, deployment, and operations of a digital twin system for dynamically positioned (DP) drilling vessels. The primary objective of the digital twin is to generate dynamic watch circles by predicting the vessel’s drift-off behavior based on real-time environmental conditions. The dynamic watch circle output provides crew members with maximal operating envelopes based on actual conditions while ensuring safe operations, so the integrity of the wellhead is not compromised. The title of the presentation is 'Optimizing Operational Efficiency: A Digital Twin Solution for Realtime Dynamic Watch Circles on DP Rigs,' presented by Kenneth Bhalla, Sr. VP, & CTO, Jorge Capeto, P.E., and Sezgin Kucukcoban of Stress Engineering Services, Inc.

How much lack of thread engagement is acceptable on short bolted threaded connections under tensile loading? How much thread engagement do you really need? In a threaded connection, shortfall occurs when a nut is not fully engaged on a threaded stud. Although shortfall is not desirable, determining its effect on a threaded connection’s failure can be a critical aspect in threaded connection integrity management. By combining analytical and experimental methods, their work offers a strategy to predict failure loads and modes, helping engineers prioritize threats and manage asset integrity based on risk tolerance. Learn about analyzing and testing bolts that are not fully engaged in one of ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) IPC’s most downloaded papers written by Jonathan Brewer, P.E. of Stress Engineering Services, Inc. This paper’s insights into thread engagement length, failure modes, and the development of a multi-level inspection program continue to influence industry practices and improve the safety and reliability of bolted connections.
