Virtual downhole sub

Abstract:

A system and method to identify a dysfunction of a drill-string within a wellbore are provided. The system includes a sensor positioned proximate to a drill-string and proximate to a surface of the wellbore. The sensor is configured to sense a surface condition and generate measurement data. The system also includes a transmitter in communication with the sensor and configured to transmit the measurement data. The system also includes a receiver configured to receive the measurement data from the sensor. The system also includes a processor configured to calculate a downhole measurement based on the measurement data and analyze the downhole measurement to identify the dysfunction.
