    1) Basic drill string design involves components like the top drive, jars, crossovers, drillpipe, drill collars, stabilizers, and bit. 2) The buoyancy force of drilling fluid reduces the apparent weight of immersed objects like drillpipe and collars. 3) Proper drill collar weight and length can be calculated based on the desired weight on bit and neutral point in the well.

    70% to 85% Max of Drill Collar Wt.

    In compression to provide Weight on Bit


    Example 1 0 lbs..
    Air
    BUOYANCY
    Example 2
    Weight

    20 lbs... 10 ppg fluid


    Volume of
    immersed object
    = 2 gallons

    Volume displaced
    Buoyed
    Weight by immersed object
    = 2 gallons
    18
    lbs...
    Bf = 18 lbs.. = .9
    20 lbs.. Buoyancy Force (Fb) = Weight of fluid
    displaced x Volume of fluid displaced.

    Any object
    immersed in this Fb = 10 ppg x 2 = 20 lbs..
    fluid would lose its
    air weight by a
    factor of .9
    BUOYANCY FORCE/FACTOR
    EXAMPLE

    DP Metal displacement = .00764 bbls/ft

    61.38 bbls DC Metal displacement = .054 bbls/ft

    If 4500 ft of pipe and 500 ft of drill collars are ran into


    a well with 10 ppg mud the volume displaced from
    the well would be.

    4500 x .00764 = 34.38 bbls


    500 x .054 = 27 bbls
    Total = 61.38 bbls or x 42 = 2578 galls

    The Fb (buoyancy force) = 2578 x 10 ppg = 25,780 lbs..


    BUOYANCY FORCE/FACTOR
    CONTINUED

    DP approximate weight = 20.87 lbs../ft


    DC weight = 148 lbs../ft
    Weight in air = (4500 x 20.87) + (500 x 148) = 167,915 lbs..

    The Fb (buoyancy force) = 2578 x 10 ppg = 25,780 lbs..

    If the weight in air is 167,915 lbs.. and the buoyancy


    force is 25,780 lbs... The immersed weight will be
    167,915 - 25,780 = 142,135 lbs..

    Bf = 142,135 = .847
    167,915
    BUOYANCY FORCE/FACTOR
    CONTINUED

    Density of Drilling
    Fluid = 10 ppg

    Bf = 1- Df 1- 10 = 1- .153 = .847

    Density of Carbon
    Steel = 65.5 ppg
    DRILL COLLARS FOR WEIGHT ON BIT

    35,000 lbs.. (Buoyed wt) = 42,839 lbs.. (Air wt)


    Neutral Point
    .817 Bf

    42,839 lbs.. (80% For WOB) = 53,550 lbs.. (100% of collars)


    .8

    53,550 lbs.. = 364 ft of Drill Collars


    147 lb/ft

    364 ft = 12 Drill Collars

    DRILL COLLARS and HEAVY WEIGHT drillpipe FOR
    WEIGHT ON BIT

    300 HWDP x 49.3 lbs../ft = 14,790 lbs..

    DC. 53,550 lbs.. - 14,790 lbs.. = 38,760 lbs.. of DC weight

    38,760 lbs.. = 263 ft of Collars


    147 lbs../ft

    263 ft = 8.7 rounded up to 9 Drill Collars or 9 x 30 = 270 ft


    30 ft

    Length of BHA (300 + 270) = 570 ft


    MARGIN OF OVERPULL AND TENSION AT TOP OF HWDP

    Tension at top of Heavy Weight if maximum


    pull applied = 154,480 lbs..

    100,000 lbs.. MOP + 54,480 BHA weight = 154,480 lbs..

    New BHA weight = (9 x 30 x 147) + 14,790 = 54,480 lbs..


    MAXIMUM drillpipe LENGTH

    Max load of S135 = 504,687 lbs..


    Load already applied if BHA and maximum
    margin of overpull is used. = 154,480 lbs...

    Max length of S135 = 504,687 - 154,480 = 15,495 ft


    22.6 lb/ft

    Tension at top of BHA and


    bottom of S135 = 154,480 lbs..
    LOAD WHILE DRILLING AT 12500 ft
    Design over-pull available = 180,589 lbs..

    Actual over-pull available = 239,899 lbs..

    S135 length = 11,930 ft

    Weight of pipe -
    11,930
    lbs.. ft x 22.6 lb/ft = 269,618
    12,500 ft

    Total Air weight of drill string (269,618 + 54,480) = 324,098 lbs..

    Buoyed weight (Load) = 324,098 x .817 = 264,788 lbs..

    BHA length = 570 ft


    BHA weight = 54,480 lbs..
    MAXIMUM SURFACE TORQUE

    S135 = 28,381 ft/lbs..
