Abstract

Systems and methods for using high rate telemetry to improve drilling operations. A method may include performing drilling operations with a wired drill pipe (WDP) string in an oil and/or gas well. The drilling operations may include pumping drilling fluid to a mud motor of the WDP string through an internal passage of the WDP string and vertically moving the WDP string via a drawworks while controlling the drawworks to change speed of the WDP string based on downhole data received by wellsite surface equipment via electrical conductors integral to WDP of the WDP string. The received downhole data may include downhole pressure data that is generated downhole by a pressure sensor and is indicative of pressure of the drilling fluid in the internal passage.
