    The document discusses the design considerations for drillstrings. Drill collar selection is based on buckling considerations or avoiding compression. Collapse pressure is calculated based on mud weight and depth. Tension design accounts for collapse properties, overpull, design factors, and slip crushing. Dogleg severity is analyzed to study fatigue from rotating in angle changes.

    The document discusses various aspects of drill string design including drill collar selection, design criteria like collapse, tension and dogleg severity.

    Drill collar selection is usually based on buckling considerations in the lower sections of the drillstring or using sufficient collars to avoid running drillpipe in compression. The main approaches used are the buoyancy factor method and pressure-area method.

    The controlling criteria for drill string design are collapse, tension, slip crushing and dogleg severity. Collapse and tension are used to select pipe weights, grades and couplings. Slip crushing affects tension design and pipe selection. Dogleg severity studies fatigue damage from rotating in doglegs.

    WELL PLANNING
    CONSIDERATION

    Drill-Collar Selection
    The drill collars are the first section of the
    drillstring to be designed. The collars' length and
    size affect the type of drillpipe that must be used.
    Drill-collar selection is usually based on :
    1.) buckling considerations in the lower sections
    of the drillstring when weight is set on the bit or
    2) using a sufficient amount of drill collars to
    avoid running the drillpipe in compression.
    The design approaches that satisfy these design
    criteria are the buoyancy factor method and
    the pressure-area method, respectively.

    DRILL STRING DESIGN


    CRITERIA
    The controlling criteria for drillstring
    design are
    Collapse and tension are used to select
    pipe weights, grades, and couplings
    slip crushing affects the tension design
    and pipeselection.
    dogleg severity is performed to study
    the fatigue damage resulting from
    rotating in the dogleg angle change

    Collapse Load
    The highest external pressure tending to collapse the string
    will occur at the bottom when the string is run empty into
    the hole. (This only occurs when running a Drillstem Test DST tool).
    The highest anticipated external pressure on the pipe is
    given by
    Pc = 0.052 x MW x TVD
    where:
    Pc = collapse pressure (psi)
    MW = mud weight (ppg)
    TVD = true vertical depth (ft) at which Pc acts
    This assumes that there is no fluid inside the pipe to resist
    the external pressure (i.e. no back up).

    Tension Design
    The tension load can be evaluated after
    the weights, grades, and section lengths
    have been established from the collapse
    designs. Buoyancy is included in the
    tension evaluation due to the manner in
    which biaxial stresses
    alter the collapse properties of the pipe.
    Since the string is designed with a
    maximum load concept, it is important
    that buoyancy be included in the design.

    The tension design line is established


    as the maximum load resulting from
    applying three different design
    considerations, including 1.overpull
    2.design factors,
    3.slip crushing.
    Each consideration is applied
    separately to the load line

    a safety factor for slip crushing is


    generally added to the loadingline
    calculated above. This allows for the
    interaction of hoopstress (Sh) caused
    bythe slips and the tensile stress (St)
    caused by the weight of the string. This
    effect reduces the allowable tension load
    by a factor (Sh/St) which can be
    calculated as
    follows:

    where:
    D = O.D. of pipe (in)
    L = length of slips (in)
    K = lateral load factor
    Slips are normally either 12 in. or 16 in. long, and for normally lubricated
    slips K = 4.00.If used pipe is being considered the actual D must be
    measured and Sh/St calculated from the above equation. Having obtained
    this factor it is applied to the tension loading line.

    Dogleg Severity Analysis


    The most common type of drillpipe
    failure is fatigue wear. It generally
    occurs in doglegs where the pipe
    goes through cyclic bending stresses.
    These stresses occur because the
    outer wall of the pipe in a dogleg is
    stretched and creates a greater
    tension load (see Fig. 15-20)
