How Much Force Applied to a Rig Tong To Get The Right Torque at The
Connection
By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 1, 2014 - 12:29 pm |Applied Drilling Calculations, Drilling Engineering Calculations 2 Comments

One application of the rig tong is to use to make up connection. The question is asked about how to get the right
torque value to the connection if you use the rig tong because you will not see the torque value on the gauge.

This article will describe how to determine the correct force applied to get the correct torque value when you use the rig tong to make up the connection.

Rig Derrick Load Calculation

By DrillingFormulas.Com | September 22, 2013 - 9:55 am |Applied Drilling Calculations, Drilling Engineering Calculations 6 Comments

The drilling line is reeved over a set of crow block and down to another set of sheaves known as travelling block. The hook connected to travelling block
is used to suspend the drilling load. One end of drilling line is wound onto the drawworks and this line is called “Fast Line”. Other end of the drilling line is

tied into an anchor point on the rig floor and this line is named as “Dead Line”. The drilling line is reeved around the blocks several times in order to meet
required load.

According to the diagram above, we can use basic physic to determine derrick load.

Drillstring Elongation Due To a Tensile Load

By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 31, 2013 - 11:00 am |Drilling Engineering Calculations 4 Comments

When a tensile load is applied into a drillstring, it results in elongation of the drillstring.

The formula to determine pipe elongation is listed below;

Oilfield unit

09/05/2020 Drilling Engineering Calculations Archives - Drilling Formulas and Drilling Calculations

e = (L x T) ÷ (735,000 x W)

Where;

e = elongation, inch

L = length of drill string, ft

T = tensile load, lb

W = drill string weight, lb/ft

Metric (SI) unit

e = (L x T) ÷ (26.7 x W)

Where;

e = elongation, mm

L = length of drill string, metres

T = tensile load, kN

W = drill string weight, kg/m

Note: The equations are taken from API RP 7G 16th Edition, August 1998.

Pressure Drop Across a Bit

By DrillingFormulas.Com | May 18, 2012 - 6:29 am |Drilling Engineering Calculations, Drilling Hydraulics 6 Comments

Pressure across a bit occurs when the drilling mud passing through the jet nozzles. This pressure drop is important for drilling hydraulic optimization
(maximum hydraulic horse power or impact force) and hole cleaning. The pressure drop at the nozzle area is a function of total flow area of the bit, flow
rate and mud density.

Pressure drop across the bit can be determined by the following equation:

Where:

Pb = pressure drop across a bit, psi

Q = flow rate, gpm

W = mud weight, ppg

A = total flow area, square inch
