O Gauge protection
O Sealed bearings
Question 7
In a typical drilling operation, the flow regime in the annulus would likely be:
O Turbulent
O Laminar
O Transitional
O Supersonic

Transcribed Image Text:Question 8
Which of the following pressure losses contributes to Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) at
bottom?
O Drill string pressure losses
O Annulus pressure losses
O MWD pressure losses
on
O Drill bit pressure losses
Question 9
Why to place a HWDP section in the drillstring?
O It absorbs shock vibrations preventing bit failure
O It absorbs part of WOB reducing the chance of drillpipe buckling
O It decreases the drilling cost since HWDPS are cheaper than DPs
O It helps prevent stress concentration at the top of the drill collar section
Question 10
Which of the following indicates an advantage of drillpipe upsetting?
O It allows the use of higher mud flow rates
O It enables drillpipes to apply weight on bit
O It decreases the drillpipe cost
O It provides a better transition from the stiffer tool joints to the more flexible tubes
