    Rig Sizing Calculations

    This document provides guidelines for calculating the necessary rig components and sizing for a drilling operation. It outlines calculating the static derrick load based on the heaviest casing and drill string. It also provides equations for calculating the necessary power for mud pumps based on flow rate and pressure, drawworks based on drill string weight and tripping speed, and top drive based on torque and RPM. The total power requirement is calculated by multiplying the power for each component by a safety factor. The rig must be checked to ensure it can supply the maximum combined power requirement and that each component exceeds its power limitations.

    Rig Sizing Calculations for rig selection

    Derrick Static load

    - By Selecting the heaviest HKLD which is usually the 9 5/8" CSG + Drill string
    racked on derrick (Dry Weight) + Over Pull margin

    Ex. 500 KLB (9 5/8" CSG) + 300 KLB (Drill String Dry Weight) + 100 KLB
    (Over pull Margin) = 900 KLB

    Check the Max. load the derrick can bear, also over pull margin varies from a
    company to another.

    Mud pump calculation

    - Using Equation (GPM X SPP)/ 1,714) with Efficiency = 0.803

    Ex. Drilling with 700 GPM @ 2,500 Psi Stand pipe pressure
    (700*2,500/1,714)/0.803 = 1,271 HP

    Drawwork

    - Using equation (Drill string Hook Load x Tripping speed)/ 33,000) with
    Efficiency 0.649

    - Using 80 ft/Min tripping speed for drill string

    - Using 20 ft/Min While back ream

    - Using equation (Casing string Hook Load x Tripping speed)/ 33,000) with
    Efficiency 0.649

    - Using 50 Ft/min RIH speed for Casing

    DW power for tripping : = 200,000 Lb (Drill string bouyant weight) * 80 FPS /


    33,000 / 0.649 = 747 HP
    DW power for Backream : = 200,000 Lb (Drill string bouyant weight) * 20 FPS /
    33,000 / 0.649 = 187 HP

    DW power for running Casing : = 400,000 Lb (Casing bouyant weight* 50 FPS /


    33,000 / 0.649 = 934 HP

    Top drive

    - Use Equation (TQ X RPM/5,252) with Efficiency 0.96

    - RPM depends on the BHA type

    - Expected torque from simulations

    Ex. (17,000 ft.lb torque x 120 RPM ) 5,252 / 0.96 = 405 HP

    Total power Required

    Multiply all the result HP for each Equipment by 1.1 : 1.25 Safety factor

    - By Estimating the maximum Expected power for each section and Select the Higher
    one:

    - Usually backreaming is the worst case using (Rotating, Circulating & applying
    overpull, so add + + = 1,862 HP, so have to check that the rig engines can
    supply this combined power, all at the same time and for extended periods of
    operating time.

    - Check the maximum power for each tool ( TDS, DW, Mud pumps,...) if it exceeds
    its dedicated power limitations.

    - Check the maximum casing string weight to be run if exceeds the maximum derrick
    load.

    - Also check that mud pumps can handle liner sizes that will deliver the indicated
    GPM.
