Depending on the engines on the rig, the drawworks

can be either:

✓ Diesel engines are directly connected

(compounded) to the draw work by chain.
✓ This system is still in use for small Drilling Rigs
(under 1500 HP), but is no longer used on
medium-Hi powered rigs( 1500 & 3000 HP).

37

Hoisting System
Draw Work
b. Auxiliary brake
• The auxiliary brakes are used only when going in the hole on a trip. These are used to prevent
burning the band-type brakes.
• The auxiliary brakes are of two types:
A. The hydro-dynamic type braking is provided by water being impelled in a
direction opposite to the rotation of the drum.
B. The electromagnetic type braking is provided by two opposing magnetic fields.

The magnitude of the magnetic fields is dependent on the speed of rotation and the
amount of external excitation current supplied.
• In both types of auxiliary braking systems, the heat development must be dissipated using a
liquid cooling system.

introduced towards the mid-1980s, grouping together
in a single unit
o The equipment for connecting the drill pipes, rotation
of the drill string and circulation of the fluid
o The top drive unit is suspended from the hook and is
guided by two vertical rails fixed to the derrick, which
provide the reactive torque necessary to prevent the
rotation of the whole complex and to allow free
vertical movement.

Tubular Handling
83
Drill string
o Is an assemblage of hollow pipes of circular section,

extending from the surface to the bottom of the hole.
o It has three functions:
✓ it takes the drilling bit to the bottom of the
hole, while transmitting its rotation and its
vertical load to it.
✓ It permits the circulation of the drilling fluid to
the bottom of the hole.
✓ it guides and controls the trajectory of the hole.

Drill Pipe
o The drill pipes are hollow steel pipes

of various types, with two tool joints
welded at their ends.
o They are standardized according to
API standards and classified on the
basis of their length (usually about 9
m), their outside diameter, their
linear weight and their steel grade.

Heavy Weight Drill pipe
o Hevi-Wate drill pipe is an intermediate

weight drill stem member. It consists of
heavy-wall tubes attached to special extra-
length tool joints. It has drill pipe dimensions
for ease of handling. Because of its weight
and construction, Hevi-Wate drill pipe can
be run in compression the same as drill
collars in small diameter holes and in highly
deviated and horizontal wells.

Tubular Handling
93
o Similar in appearance to a drill pipe, HWDP has

the following different dimensional
characteristics; the tube wall is heavier about
1”thick in most sizes, the tool joints are longer,
and the tube section has a larger diameter at
mid length to protect the pipe from wear.

Tubular Handling
94
Heavy Weight Drill Pipes Function

HWDP is used to absorb the stresses being
transferred from the Drill Collars to the Drill Pipe.
The major HWDP benefits are:
o Increased wall thickness
o Longer tool joints
o Uses more hard facing
o May have a long central upset section

Tubular Handling
95
Drill Collar
An 8” OD drill collar weighs 150 lbs/ft or 4500

lbs each
o Drill collars have larger outer diameter
and smaller inner diameter than drill
pipe. The functions of drill collars are:
▪ Provide the required weight on bit Drillpipe
while drilling Drill collar
▪ Maintain drill string in tension which
reduces bending and fatigue failures.
▪ Provide stiffness for directional
control

Tubular Handling
96
Drill Collar
Types
o Comes in many OD and ID sizes
o Typically 3 1/8" to 11" OD, Most commonly in
lengths of 30 - 31 ft
o Both slick and spiral drill collars are used.
o Spiral collars where there is chance of getting stuck
o where differential sticking is a possibility spiral drill
collars and spiral HWDP should be used in order
to minimize contact area with the formation.

o A short, threaded piece of pipe used to adapt parts of the drilling string
that cannot otherwise be screwed together because of difference in
thread size or design.
o These consist of:

Bent Sub

Tubular Handling
99
Subs
o Subs are classified into four main categories:
Bit Sub or crossover subs are used to connect the drill bit to the first piece of BHA equipment or to
crossover connections in the drill string. Drill bits are manufactured with a pin, making make-up
impossible without a bit sub.
Lifting Sub or handling subs are used to lift BHA components from the catwalk to the rig floor.
Top drive subs or saver subs serve as the sacrificial element between the drill string and the top drive,
reducing repair and maintenance costs.
Workover subs or circulating subs are used to limit the allowable fluid-circulation rates.

II. by increasing the surface area available to the mud so that bubbles
escape
o If the gas content in the mud is high, a mud gas separator or "poor boy

I. the hoisting,
II. the circulation system, and the rotary system,

Power system
157
o the sources of energy are diesel fueled

engines.
o Most rigs use 1 to 5 engines to power
the drawworks and rotary table.
o The engines are usually rated between
400 and 800 hp.
o As guideline, power requirements for
most onshore rigs are between 1,000 to
3,000 hp.
