THE INFLUENCE OF VIBRATION ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE PENETRATION RATE IN OIL WELLS: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

This article presents a survey of publications that refer to the study of the influence of vibration on the rate of penetration (ROP) optimization in the petroleum industry. The Web of Science database was used for the research and a qualitative analysis was performed on the selected articles. In addition to the qualitative evaluation, a bibliometric analysis of citation and co-citation was performed using the CiteSpace software, verifying a network of collaborations. Among the 13 selected articles, it was observed that they were published in 11 different journals with an impact factor between 1,73 and 5,31. Teaching/research institutions in China were the ones that contributed the most to research related to the proposed theme, totaling 6. Of the 53 authors, only 3 authors are representatives of companies. The results show that the analyzed studies have sought to increase the ROP through physical changes in the downhole tools and through dynamic modeling that relate the drilling parameters.
