4.16 The maximum weight to be applied to the bit during the next
interval of hole is 60,000 lbm. The drilling string will be
composed of 5-in., 19.5- drillpipe and 2.75x8.0 in drill collars
and the maximum mud density anticipated is 13
.
Compute the minimum length of the drill collars required to
prevent a buckling tendency in the drillpipe.

4.18 Determine the pressure at the bottom of the drill collars if the
frictional loss in the drilling string is 900 psi, the flow rate is 350
, the mud density is 10-
8,000 ft. The internal diameter of the drill collars is 2.75 in., and
the pressure developed by the pump is 2,600 psig.
Solution:
Using equation 4.29:
