Abstract
A flexible downhole component includes an upper connection for connecting the flexible downhole component to a first downhole tool and a lower connection for connecting the flexible downhole component to a second downhole tool. The flexible downhole component includes a flexible body disposed between the upper connection and the lower connection. The flexible downhole component includes an upper damping component and a lower damping component each configured to damp torsional oscillations.
