Q2)

Well Depth = 550m = 1804.4ft , 4 API drill pipe density = 14 lbf/ft


Collar Length = 300 ft , density = 7 times that of the drill pipe = 98lbf/ft
Since the density of drillpipe and drill collar are same(both are made of steel) and unit length of
drillpipe and drill collar is considered, therefore volume of the drill collar will be seven times
that of drillpipe.
Inside Diameter of Drill string = di = 3.340 inch

pi * (dCL2 3.342) = 7*pi*(42 - 3.342) dCL = 6.71 inch


mud ==1100kg/m3 = 68.67 lb/ft3
BF = 1-mud/steel = 1- 1100/8000 = 0.8625
WCL = 98lbf/ftWCL,buoyant = WCL * BF = 84.52lbf/ft
WD = 14 lbfWD,buoyant = 12.07lbf/ft
F1 = Pmud*(ACL SD)= 68.67 * 1504.4*(pi*(6.712 42)) / (4*144) = 16353.7lbf
F2 = Pmud*ACL = 68.67*1804.4 * (pi*(6.712-16))/(4*144)= 19614.9lbf
Fh,min = 14*1505.4 = 21075.6lbf
WOB = WD + WCL + F1 F2 Fh = 14* 1504.4 + 98*300 + 16353.7 - 19614.9- 21075.6

Fh,max = Fh,min + F1 = 21075.6 + 16353.7 = 37429.3lbf
