Question

Transcribed Image Text:A drillstring is composed of 9000 ft of 5-in 19.5-lbm/ft
drillpipe and 1000 ft of drill collars having a 3.0-in. ID.
COmpute the following items:
a capacity of the drillpipe in barrels.
b capacity of the drill collars in barrels.
c. number of pump cycles required to pump surface mud to
the bit. The pump is a duplex double-acting pump with 6-in
liners, 2.5in rods, 16-in stokes and operates at a volumetric
efficiency of 85%.
d displace ment of the drillpipe in bbl/ft.
e. displacement of the drill collars in bbl/ft. the OD of the
collars is 8.0 in.
f. loss in fluid level in the well if 10 stands of drill pipe are
pulled without filling the hole. THe ID of the casing in the
hole is 10.05 in.
g. loss in fluid level in the well if one stand of drill collars is
pulled without filling the hole.
h,. change in fluid level in the pit if the pit is 8 ft wide and
20 ft long, assuming that the hole is filled after pulling 10
stands of drillpipe
