    This document provides an example of how to calculate stuck pipe depth using real well data. It details the well information, including total depth, bit size, mud properties, and drill string configuration. While tripping out, an overpull of 40,000 lbs was observed. Attempts to rotate and circulate were restricted. The stuck depth formula is used to calculate where in the well the pipe is stuck based on stretch measurements taken at different overpull weights. The calculation determines the pipe is stuck at 6,784 feet, which is at the bottom hole assembly.

    Determine Stuck Pipe Depth Based on Real Example

    by DR ILL IN GF O R MU LA S. CO M on JUNE 13, 2015

    This is the real example of how to determine stuck depth


    using the stuck depth calculation.
    Well Information:
    TD = 8,900MD/5,600 TVD
    Bit Size = 8.5
    Drilling fluid = water based mud (PHPA system)
    Formation: sand shale sequence
    BHA: 7 mud motor + 9 stands of 5 HWDP S-135, 4-1/2
    IF connection

    Drillstring: 5 DP S135, 4-1/2 IF connection

    Neutral weight @ 6,850MD = 175 Klb


    While tripping out of hole to 6,850MD, observe over pull 40
    Klb over pick up weight. Stop tripping out and attempt to go
    down no issue. Attempt to rotate, pipe is able to rotate at 30K
    ft-lb. Attempt to circulate, observe restricted flow.

    Figure 1 Stuck While Pulling Out


    Based on the information, we would expect the cutting load
    bed issue. We attempt to determine where the stuck point is
    using the stuck depth formula.
    Stuck Depth (ft) = (735,294 x e x Drill Pipe Weight (ppf))
    (Differential Pull, lb)
    Where;
    e = drill pipe stretch, inch

    Pipe Stretch Information


    Pull the stuck string to 300 Klb and the stretch measurement
    is 29.4 inch from the neutral point.
    Pull the stuck string to 350 Klb and the stretch measurement
    is 49.2 inch from the neutral point.
    So
    Differential pull = 350,000 300,000 = 50,000 lb
    e = 49.2 29.4 = 19.8 inch
    Drill Pipe Weight (ppf) = 23.52 ppf adjusted weight
    Note: The adjusted weight is used instead of the plain weight
    because it represents the whole string better than the plain
    weight. The plain pipe weight can be used for tubular as
    casing or tubing which dont have tool joints.

    Figure 2 5DP S-135 Specification

    Stuck Depth (ft) = (735,294 x 19.8 x 23.52) (50,000)


    Stuck Depth (ft) = 6,784 ft
    Based on this calculation, the drill string is stuck at the BHA.
