QUESTION 1 A horizontal well with a measured depth of 10,000 ft. can be approximated as being vertical to 2,000 ft, then a 5,000-ft segment inclined at 60 deg, and a horizontal 3,000- ft section. Given: 2,000 Hole diameter (oconstant) = 8.5 in Drillstring OD = 5 in Mud weight= 10 ppg Flow rate = 400 gpm 5,000 60 deg Calculate: 3.000 ft a) The hydrostatic pressure at bottom (10,000 ft) psi b) The time necessary to bring the cuttings through the annulus, from the bottom to the surface.
