This paper deals with the exponential stability analysis of switched neutral systems under certain state-dependent switching rules with nonlinear perturbations bounded in magnitude. The proposal of an energy functional allow us to investigate the asymptotic and exponential stability of switched neutral systems through the solution of linear matrix inequalities. The results are illustrated with the exponential stability analysis of an oilwell drilling system allowing a significant reduction of the stick slip behavior.
