THE END
Those who use the Margin of Overpull in drill string design do so on the premise the difference between the maximum normal
working load
and the load on each pipe section would be equal. There fore, when tension is applied to free the stuck pipe, each section can
tolerate the
same load in excess of it's weight and no single weaker section will limit the load which can be applied to the pipe. It is best that
the design
start with a pipe that will probably have a better than the anticipated tensile rating.
