Hoisting System
Safety Factor
• The rig must be evaluated with respect to block and tackle system to ensure that
it meets the designed safety requirements. Specifications for safety factors are as
follows:
Calculated load rating (tons) Safety factor
0 – 150 4
151 – 500 𝑅 − 150

4−
350
501 and over 3
• Where R is the calculated load rating in tons.
• The maximum load rating of the pipe must be calculated before apply the safety
factor and evaluating the equipment rating. 2

mud. The casing is filled with mud as it is run. Calculate the designed
equipment rating.

Hoisting System
Calculate :
1) weight of drill string in air and in mud;
2) hook load, assuming weight of travelling block and hook to be 23,500 lb;
3) deadline and fast-line loads, assuming an efficiency factor of 0.81;
4) dynamic crown load;
5) wireline design factor during drilling if breaking strength of wire is 228,000 lb.
6) design factor when running 7 in casing of 29 lb/ft.

input power to the block and tackle system as high as 500 hp. Eight lines are
strung between the crown block and the traveling block. Assume K = 0.9615

The following data refer to an oil well block-and-tackle system:
Number of lines = 10 (with E = 0.81)

Maximum expected hook load = 500000 lbf
Hook load speed = 120 ft/min
Hoisting drum diameter = 32"
Mechanical efficiency of draw works = 0.88
Calculate
1) The power at the drawwork

2) The motor power required
3) Motor to drum gear ratio when pulling out of hole the maximum allowable
load. 8
Hoisting System
Ton-Miles of a drilling line
• The drilling line, like any other drilling equipment, does work at any time it
involved in moving equipment in or out of the hole.
• The amount of work done varies depending the operation involved.
• This work causes the wireline to wear and if the line is not replaced it will
eventually break.
• The amount of work done need to be calculated to determine when to change

the drilling line.
• The following gives equations for calculating the work done on the drilling line:
