Used all the time by company foremen, service people & supervisors, tool
pusher, mud loggers, etc.
C.
Used to plan jobs to minimize cost, save time and operate safely.
D.
Nearly all the terms and factors involve some rig math.
E.
If you understand and learn to use rig math, your grade in this course will be
good; and your job in the field will be easier.

Fractions: Also a number less than one, just written a different way, as
a/b.
1.
For every fraction there is an exact decimal equivalent.
2.
Per Cent: (%) Is a way of using a number to say one thing is a specific part
of something else.
1.
You use Per Cent every day: every time you buy something, a specific %

V.
EQ 02; For the inside of each section of a sting of pipe, with no other
pipe of any kind inside. Is good for:
1. Drill Pipe
3. Casing
4.
D.
EQ 03: For a section of any annulus with any Pipe inside of Open Hole
(OH). Is good for:
1. OHDC
3. OH/csg
E.
2. Drill Collars
4. Tubing
2.OHIDP
4.OH/tbg
EQ 04: For a section of any annulus with any Pipe inside of a larger size
pipe. Is good for:
1. csg/DC
2. csg/DP
3. csg/csg
4. csg/tbg
5. tbg/tbg
6.
U.
EQ 05: Fill per Volume = how many feet of a section one bbl of volume will fill
up.
1.
Note this is the reciprocal of capacity
2.
3.
H.
Volumes: Volume = The actual amount of fluid (total bbl, or gal or cf) in a well,
or a section of a well.
I.
EQ 06: This general equation is for all sections of a well; is used, regardless of the
type of section, as long as a capacity is known.
J.
EQ 07: For Open Hole (OH) with no pipe of any kind inside; use with capacity
from EQ 01.
K.
EQ 08: For the Side of a section, or a string, of pipe, with no other pipe of any
kind inside; use with capacity from EQ 02
L.
EQ 09: For a section of any annulus, whether Pipe is inside of a larger pipe or
OH; use with capacities from either EQ 03 or EQ 04.
M.
EQ 10: For the total volume inside of a string pipe that is in a well; is good for:
1.
A drill string (including drill collars).
2.
A casing string.
3.
A tubing string.
4.
Calculate the separate volume for each section of the string; then add up
all the section volumes.
5.
A section changes any time the ID of the pipe (weight, lb/fl) changes.
N.
EQ 11: For the total volume in the annulus of a well, from the bottom of the
inside pipe to the surface.
1.
Note: Calculate separate volumes for each section of the annulus; then add
up all the section volumes.
2.
A section changes any time there is a change in EITHER:
a.
The Hole Diameter;
b.
The ID (weight, lb/ft) of the big (outside) pipe;
c.
The OD of any section of inside pipe.
0.
EQ 12: This gives the Total volume of the entire well. Add up the results from EQ
11 and EQ 12.
EQ 20 & 20a: To determine the pressure created by all, or part of, the
vertical fluid column = Hydrostatic Pressure.
a.
Can be applied to get the Hydrostatic at TD (the entire column of
fluid).
b.

B.
Strum Weights:
The following will apply to all strings that might be run in a well, including:
a.
A drill string, including both DP & DC.
b.
A casing string.
c.
A tubing string.
2.
3.
EQ 22: To get the total, real, weight of the entire string in air.
a.
This is what it would weigh if it were hung on a big scale from a
helicopter and weighed hanging from the sky.
b.
Calculate the separate weight, lbs, for each section of the string;
then add up all the section weights.
c.
d.
Different section lengths with the same lb/ft weight may be added
together to get one weight for all pipe with the same lb/ft value.
C.
Buoyancy: = the floating effect liquid has on a solid put into the liquid.
1. EQ 24: To get the Buoyancy Factor (BF) for any density fluid.
a.
Buoyancy is what makes your fishing boat float.
b.
When a steel string of pipe is run into a drilling fluid in the well, it
will try to float, also. This floating affect makes it appear that the
pipe has lost weight.
c.
Must get the BF before any estimate can be made of weight loss
due the pipe floating in the fluid.
The BF will be the same for all fluids of exactly the same density,
regardless of the kind of fluid.
3.
D.
Buoyed Weight: The actual measured weight of a string floating in a liquid.
1. EQ 25: To calculate the buoyed weight of any suing run into a drilling fluid.
2. This calculated result is the real weight one sees on a rigs weight indicator.
E.
OverPull: = OP = The limit of amount of real pull, lbs. OVER buoyed weight, that
can safely be put on a string of pipe without parting the pipe.
1.
This is essentially the book value of tension strength of the pipe minus the
buoyed weight, or adjusted for the tension Safety Factor (SF).
2.
Is applied to the top joint of the string. Should also be applied to the top
joint of each section of the string.
3.
The full book value of tension is almost never used; occasionally, only
with brand new pipe, will full book value be used.
4.
The book value of the pipe rated tension is usually reduced by some
percentage value. This is almost always the case if the pipe is used.
5.
Must always check two tension values, and use the ONE THAT IS THE
LOWER VALUE:
a.
Pipe Body Tensile Strength; and
b.
Pipe Joint Strength.
