    Torque and Drag Class Lecture

    Uploaded by

    tareq.sefat
    This document discusses torque and drag concepts related to drilling engineering. It provides example problems calculating axial forces and torque on drill strings in various wellbore geometries under static and dynamic conditions. Problem 2 involves calculating axial forces at different points along an S-shaped well trajectory for a drill string under static, tripping out, and tripping in conditions. Problem 3 similarly involves calculating static hook load, lifting/lowering hook loads, and torque for a drill string in another S-shaped well, and discussing frictional effects in straight versus bent sections. The assignment involves deriving equations to calculate axial loads in a drop-off bend, solving Problem 3 using Excel, and calculating axial loads by hand for Problem 2.

    Torque and Drag

    Advanced Drilling Engineering


    PMRE 6015
    What is Drag
    • Frictional force on a moving body against its direction of motion

    Drag force on an airplane


    Drag on a drill string
    • Straight section
    • During build up
    • During drop off
    Problem 1
    • What is the maximum hole angle (inclination angle) that can be
    logged without the aid of drillpipe, coiled tubing or other tubulars?
    (assume dynamic friction factor=0.4)
    Problem 2
    Consider a 5-in. drillpipe with a buoyant weight of 20.15 lbf/ft in a wellbore,
    as shown schematically in Figure. It is known that a BHA with a weight of
    20,000 lbf is suspended below the drop-off section of the well; the friction
    coefficient is 0.2. The S-type well trajectory parameters are as follows:
    • KOP is at 1,100 ft; the radius of the buildup section is 558 ft; the length of
    the buildup section is 439 ft; the
    • tangent length (sail length) is 4,292 ft; the inclination angle for the tangent
    section is 45°; the radius of the
    • drop-off section is 558 ft; and the drop-off length is 439 ft.
    Calculate the axial force in a drillpipe at Point 4, Point 3, Point 2 and Point 1
    on the well trajectory for the following three cases:
    1. Static (frictionless) conditions
    2. Tripping out of the hole
    3. Tripping into the hole
    Problem 2 (contd.)
    Problem 2 (Contd.)
    Problem 2 (Contd.)
    • Calculate the torque needed to rotate the string in a drop-off portion
    of the well in Problem 2. (Section 4-5)
    Problem 3
    An S-shaped well is shown in figure. Assume that a 5 in. drillpipe is
    placed in the well down to the bottom end of the drop-off section, and
    that a 500 kN bottom-hole assembly is installed to bottom. The unit
    weight of the drill pipe is 0.294 kN/m, and the pipe radius is 0.0635.
    Assume that the data are corrected for buoyancy, and that the
    coefficient of friction is 0.2.
    a) Compute and plot the static weight of the string.
    b) Compute the total hookload required to lift the string
    c) Compute the hookload needed to lower the string.
    d) Compute the torque.
    e) Discuss the frictional effects of straight sections versus bends.
    Problem 3 (Contd.)

    Assignment 1
    Question 1.
    For a drop off bend (see figure) show that axial
    loads can be expressed using the following
    equations. (You are expected to show the full
    integration process)
    (i) during pulling out of hole

    (ii) during running in hole


    Assignment 1 (Contd.)
    • Solve Problem 3 (Slide 9) using Excel. Also
    work out the axial loads at points 1,2,3,4,5 for
    three conditions (static, pulling out, running in
    hole) by hand calculations the way it was done
    in the class. You are supposed to submit both
    the excel file (soft copy by email)and the
    detailed axial load calculations (hand written,
    hard copy)

    Assignment 1 has to be submitted no later than 17th November 4pm


    (both hard and soft copy)
