Design method for cycloid trajectory of extended reach well

According to the principle of the quickest dropping principle, a new type of trajectory named as cycloid trajectory was proposed, and a design method for the trajectory was also given. The well depth, frictional force, torque and curvature of the cycloid trajectory were calculated by using this method. The calculated results of the new method were compared with data from other trajectories with the same parameters. The analysis results show that cycloid trajectory has the lowest well depth as well as the lower friction and torque, compared with arc trajectory, catenary trajectory and pseudo-catenary trajectory under the same conditions. The new design method for cycloid trajectory may have a great application in practice.
