Abstract
The article examines the causes of drill string sticking, methods for its detection, and prevention approaches based on a comprehensive analysis of drilling technological parameters. The study established that hook load, torque, and drilling fluid pressure are the main diagnostic indicators. It is demonstrated that the application of diagnostic algorithms enables early identification of the type of sticking. Based on the graphical analysis of drilling parameters, the main indicators of sticking occurrence were systematized. The results of the study showed that real-time monitoring allows the prevention of complications during the drilling process. The findings can be applied in practice to improve drilling safety, reduce emergency incidents, and minimize economic costs.
