WELL & PRE-RECORDED DATA
DEPTH: 14,000 ft. TVD
(14,800 ft. for measured depth)
BIT SIZE: 81/2"
DRILL PIPE: 41/2", 16.60 lb/ft grade E, 3.826" ID, XH
Capacity = 0.0142 bb1/ft
Length = 13,800 ft
DRILL COLLARS: 61/4” X2 13/16"
Capacity = 0.0080 bbl/ft
Length = 1,000 ft
CASING: 9.5/8", 47 Tb/ft, N/80 set at 10,000 ft. TVD.
Internal Yield = 6870 PSI
MUD WEIGHT: 124 ppg
PUMPS NO 1 & 2 National 12-p-160, 6 1/2” Liners,
0.117 bbls/stk at 95% Efficiency
PUMP PRESSURE
WHILE DRILLING: 2700 PSI at 80 SPM, (APL is 270 PSI)
SLOW PUMP RATE: 740 PSI AT 40 SPM, (APL IS 74 PSI)
LEAK-OFF TEST: 3640 PSI WITH 11.0 ppg mud
ANNULAR VOLUMES: Drill Collars in Open Hole = —0.030 bbI/ft
Drill pipe in Open Hole 0.0505 bbl /ft
Drill pipe in Casing = 0.0562 bbl/ft
WELL CONTROL DATA
While drilling the pit volume showed a rapid increase. The well was shut
in and within ten minutes the following information recorded:
A. Shut-in Drill Pipe Pressure SIDPP (Pdp) = 700 PSI
B. Shut-in Casing Pressure SICP (Pann) 1150 PSI
C. Pit Volume Increase 30 BBLS
