Abstract
Systems and a method for resisting a fluctuation in a value of a parameter relating to well equipment using a magnetorheological dampener system are described herein. The method includes continuously determining the value of the parameter relating to the well equipment, determining a fluctuation in the value of the parameter, and comparing the fluctuation in the value of the parameter to a preset limit. The method also includes energizing an electromagnet to increase a viscosity of a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) if the fluctuation exceeds the preset limit.
