The digital mixtape can also include audio recordings from the user to be added to the digital mixtape.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to optimizing a tripping velocity profile for pipes in a wellbore. A method for optimizing a tripping velocity profile for a pipe, comprising: determining a static gel strength of a fluid of a wellbore; determining an acceleration curve for the pipe in the wellbore based on wellbore pressure constraints, wherein the wellbore pressure constraints are based in part on the static gel strength of the fluid; determining a deceleration curve for the pipe; and combining the acceleration curve with the deceleration curve to provide the tripping velocity profile for the pipe.

Abstract: Certain aspects and features relate to a system and a sensor that provides real-time, downhole cutting concentration measurements. Electrical impedance measurements can be used in conjunction with a wired drill pipe to monitor the drill cuttings in the annulus under downhole conditions and along the drill string. This measurement provides direct information for optimal cuttings cleaning efficiency. In some examples, the system includes the sensor, a processing device connected to the sensor, and a non-transitory memory device including instructions that are executable by the processing device to cause the processing device to apply a transmitted signal to the sensor, receive an impedance signal from the sensor, and correlate the impedance signal with a wellbore cuttings concentration. In some examples the sensor includes multiple electrodes attachable to a drill string.

Abstract: Certain aspects and features of the present disclosure relate to real-time management of excessive torque, drag, and vibration along a drill string. In some aspects, torque, drag, vibration or any combination of these may be monitored at locations along the drill string, and these forces may be mitigated by adjusting the drilling fluid composition in real time. In some aspects, the forces may be mitigated by making real-time operational changes during wellbore drilling instead of or in addition to drilling fluid treatments.
