Weight on bit
• Drill collars and/or heavy wall drill pipes are uses
to put weight on the bit
• Drill collars are also used to keep the string in
tension and prevent it from buckling
• There is a point in the drill collars where
compression stops and tension starts this point
is called the neutral point
• Weight on bit is usually about 75-90%of the
buoyed drill collar weight

Bouyancy factor
The apparent loss of weight when an object
Is immersed in a fluid
Is calculated using the expression:
65.44-mw or 1 - mw
65.44 65.44
This factor must be multiplied by the weight in air
to calculate the buoyed weight
Buoyed weight= weight in air x buoyancy factor
Apparent or buoyed weight
WB = WA x fluid density
Steel density
Where:
WB = weight of tubulars in fluid
WA = Weight of tubulars in air
Fluid density = Density of fluid in ppg
Steel Density =Density of Steel in PPG
Example
• A drill string weighs 180000 lbs in air how much
will it weigh in 11.5ppg mud?
3- NO FILL UP:
If you fail to fill up the hole, the
mud level will drop by the
volume of steel pulled.
It will drop inside the pipe and
in the annulus.
Tripping Dry
3- NO FILL UP:
Example:
Volume Of Steel Pulled:
93 x 0.00764 = 0.711 bbls
5- NO FILL UP:
If you fail to fill up the hole, the
mud level will drop by the
volume of steel and mud pulled.
It will drop inside the annulus.
Tripping Wet
5- NO FILL UP:
Example:
Volume Of Steel and Mud Pulled:
93 x (0.00764+0.01776) = 2.36 bbls

Example
At 100 spm the pumping pressure is 2850
psi with 13 ppg
What is the new pressure if the pumps are
decreased to 65 spm?
2850 x 65 x 65 x 10.5
100 x 100 13
= 973 psi
The new pump pressure will be 973 psi

Work Done by the Drilling line
Each time the block are raised and lowered
during the drilling process a certain
amount of work is done by the drilling line
Work done = Force X Distance
= Ton X Miles
Tin mile calculations are used to determine
the actual slip and cut off programs for the
rig

P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 1.000 x 10 = 3.000 x V2
If the minimum operating pressure recommended by the manufacture is 1.500 psi as for
Shaffer Annular Preventer with pipe size smaller than 7” the usable hydraulic fluid
would be :
P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 1.000 x 10 = 1.500 x V2

Pumping a Slug
Example:
If 20 bbls of 12 ppg slug are pumped in a 10,000 ft hole
containing 10 ppg mud, what will be the height of empty pipe?
DP capacity = 0.01776 bbl/ft
20 / 0.01776 = 1126 ft
Pumping a Slug
2- Calculate the HP of the slug:
1126 x 12 x 0.052 = 702.6 psi

2- Calculate the HP of the mud in the annulus:
10,000 x 10 x 0.052 = 5,200 psi

4- Calculate the height of mud needed to give 4497.4
psi as a HP:
TVD = 4497.4 / ( 10 x 0.052 ) = 8648.8 feet
1,126 ft 10,000 ft
8648.8 ft

4- Calculate the height of empty pipe
10,000 - 8648.8 - 1,126 = 225.2 ft
