Ton - Miles Calculator


Tr = [ D ( Lst + D ) Wm + 4 D ( M + ½ C ) ] / ( 2000 * 5280 )
Enter values in yellow boxes! Check values in green boxes!
Tr = ton miles for round trip T1 T2
D = hole depth or trip depth (ft) 12000 15000
Lst = average drill pipe stand length (ft) 93.00 93.00
Wm = weight per foot of drill pipe in mud (lbs/ft) W * BF 17.55 17.55
W = effective weight per foot of drill pipe in air (lbs/ft) 21.92 21.92
BF = buoyancy factor for mud in 1 - ( Mwt / 3412 ) 0.801 0.801
Mwt = mud weight in use (pptf) 680 680
M = weight of top drive, block, hook, elevators, 75000 75000
C = excess BHA weight in mud (lbs) = BHA - ( Wm * Lbha ) 19734 19734
BHA = weight of BHA in mud (lbs) 26000 26000
Lbha = length of BHA (ft) 357.00 357.00
