Case (a)
The lightest grade (E) should be used for the bottom part of the
hole, while the highest grade should be used at the top section.
Thus, grade E will carry the wt of DC and HWDP

5. The following data refers to a drill string stuck at the drillcollars:
Drillpipe: 10,000 ft, 5/4.276 in Grade E 19.5 lbm ft, Class 2.
Drillcollars: 600 ft, total weight 80,000 lb. Make-up torque for
drillpipe tool joints = 20,000 ft-lb and the free point is at 9,900 ft.

Then, Q=(0.096167x28.5383x(591162-(1930502/5.272))0.5)/5

10. A drill string is composed of: 500’ of drill collars having 100lb/ft
nominal weight and cross sectional area of steel 0.2 ft 2 plus 1000’ of
drill pipe having 15 lb/ft nominal weight and cross sectional area of
steel 0.03 ft2.If the mud has a density of 100 lb/ft3, find the total
elongation of the drill string under its own weight when it is
suspended in mud. If the reading of the hook load indicates 23 short
tons while pulling out of the hole , what is the length of the drill pipes
at that moment given that there is 10,000 lb drag while tripping out.
