Abstract

Tight spots in movements of a drill string in an oil well are identified by comparing a large interval hookload moving average to a short interval hookload moving average, comparing a large interval bit depth moving average to a short interval bit depth moving average, and DBSCANing the tight spots to identify a fully-stuck event.
