Abstract

Methods and systems for controlling the downhole position and velocity of a work string using a downhole position and velocity controller may be configured or otherwise programmed to account for force compensation. For example, the work string may undergo significant length changes like thermal expansion and elongation or contraction due to inertial forces, self-weight, and wellbore pressure. Also, the downhole conditions (e.g., temperature, internal forces, self-weight, and wellbore pressure) can cause the work string to be overloaded and become damaged if fast or sudden manipulations occur. The dynamic model implemented with the downhole position and velocity controller may be configured to account for the downhole forces experienced by the work string due to downhole conditions to provide the position and velocity movements that should occur at the surface to achieve the desired position and velocity movements downhole.
