  1. PETE 411Well Drilling Lesson 9 Drilling Hydraulics - Hydrostatics

  2. Drilling Hydraulics - Hydrostatics • Hydrostatic Pressure in Liquid Columns • Hydrostatic Pressure in Gas Columns • Hydrostatic Pressure in Complex Columns • Forces on Submerged Body • Effective (buoyed) Weight of Submerged Body • Axial Tension in Drill String sA = FA/A

  3. Read:Applied Drilling Engineering, Ch.4 (Drilling Hydraulics) to p. 125 HW #4 ADE #1.18, 1.19, 1.24 Due Monday, Sept 23, 2002

  4. WHY? Drilling Hydraulics Applications • Calculation of subsurface hydrostatic pressures that may tend to burst or collapse well tubulars or fracture exposed formations • Several aspects of blowout prevention • Displacement of cement slurries and resulting stresses in the drillstring

  5. Drilling Hydraulics Applications cont’d • Bit nozzle size selection for optimum hydraulics • Surge or swab pressures due to vertical pipe movement • Carrying capacity of drilling fluids

  7. Forces Acting on a Fluid Element F1 = F2 = F3 = FWV = specific wt. of the fluid

  8. Pressures in a fluid column • At equilibrium, S F = 0 0 = F1 + F2 + F3 (p = rgh)

  22. Buoyancy Force = weight of fluid displaced (Archimedes, 250 BC) Figure 4-9. Hydraulic forces acting on a foreign body

  23. Effective (buoyed) Weight Buoyancy Factor Valid for a solid body or an open-ended pipe!

  24. Example For steel, immersed in mud, the buoyancy factor is: A drillstring weighs 100,000 lbs in air. Buoyed weight = 100,000 * 0.771 = 77,100 lbs

  25. Axial Forces in Drillstring Fb = bit weight

  26. Drillpipe weight = 19.5 lbf/ft 10,000 ft Simple Example - Empty Wellbore 0 lbf 195,000 lbf OD = 5.000 in ID = 4.276 in DEPTH, ft A = 5.265 in2 AXIAL TENSION, lbf W = 19.5 lbf/ft * 10,000 ft = 195,000 lbf

  27. Drillpipe weight = 19.5 lbf/ft 10,000 ft Example - 15 lb/gal Mud in Wellbore - 41,100 0 153,900 195,000 lbf OD = 5.000 in ID = 4.276 in DEPTH, ft A = 5.265 in2 AXIAL TENSION, lbf F = P * A = 7,800 * 5.265 = 41,100 lbf Pressure at bottom = 0.052 * 15 * 10,000 = 7,800 psi W = 195,000 - 41,100 = 153,900 lbf

  28. Anywhere in the Drill Collars:Axial Tension = Wt. - Pressure Force - Bit Wt.

  29. Anywhere in the Drill Pipe:Axial Tension = Wts. - Pressure Forces - Bit Wt. FT

  30. Axial Tension in Drill String Example A drill string consists of 10,000 ft of 19.5 #/ft drillpipe and 600 ft of 147 #/ft drill collars suspended off bottom in 15#/gal mud (Fb = bit weight = 0). What is the axial tension in the drillstring as a function of depth?

  31. A1 Example Pressure at top of collars = 0.052 (15) 10,000 = 7,800 psi Pressure at bottom of collars = 0.052 (15) 10,600 = 8,268 psi Cross-sectional area of pipe, 10,000’ 10,600’

  32. A1 Example Cross-sectional area of collars, A2

  33. 4 Example 3 2 1. At 10,600 ft. (bottom of drill collars) Compressive force = pA = 357,200 lbf [ axial tension = - 357,200 lbf ] 1

  34. 4 Example Fb = FBIT = 0 3 2 2. At 10,000 ft+ (top of collars) FT = W2 - F2 - Fb = 147 lbm/ft * 600 ft - 357,200 = 88,200 - 357,200 = -269,000 lbf 1

  35. 4 Example 3 2 3.At 10,000 ft- (bottom of drillpipe) FT = W1+W2+F1-F2-Fb = 88,200 + 7800 lbf/in2 * 37.5in2 -357,200 = 88,200 + 292,500 - 357,200 = + 23,500 lbf 1

  36. 4 Example 3 2 4. At Surface FT = W1 + W2 + F1 - F2 - Fb = 19.5 * 10,000 + 23,500 = 218,500 lbf Also: FT = WAIR * BF = 283,200 * 0.7710 = 218,345 lbf 1

  38. Example - Summary 1. At 10,600 ftFT = -357,200 lbf [compression] 2. At 10,000 + ftFT = -269,000 lbf [compression] 3. At 10,000 - ftFT = +23,500 lbf [tension] 4. At SurfaceFT = +218,500 lbf [tension]
