Introduction to Drill Stem Design

● We’ve already seen some of the basic
tools that make up the drill stem ● Let’s see how we use them.

The Work of Drilling – Remember?

● What makes drilling work? ● Weight – gravity ● Weight-On-Bit (WOB) ● Rotation
■ Torque ■ Speed of rotation of the bit

● Energy stored in the rocks
■ Pore pressure

● A means of clearing away the debris

The Drill String
● Identification of Drill String
Credentials ● Basic Functions ● Yield, Tensile & Torsional Strength ● Rotary Shouldered Connections ● Buoyancy ● Overpull ● Collapse & Burst Pressures ● ‘Neutral Point’ ● Buckling ● Friction Effects in Directional Wells ● REMEMBER – IT’S NORMALLY IN TENSION

Identification of Drill Pipe

●Data normally stamped on drill pipe to API,
ISO and NORSOK standards: ●1 = Company owning pipe (e.g. KCADeutag) ●2 = Month welded (e.g. 2 = February) ●3 = Year welded (e.g. 01 = 2001) ●4 = Pipe manufacturer and API licence number ●5 = Drill Pipe Grade (e.g. “S”) ●Range Length ●API pipe will also normally bear the API monogram

5

Basic Functions
● Transmit and support axial loads ● Transmit and withstand torsional loads ● Transmit fluid under high pressure to
■ Clean the hole ■ Cool the bit ■ Power the MWD pulser and mud motor (if used)

● It must withstand potential fatigue damage
■ ‘Leak before break’ principle

● Many sources get
this wrong ● They state that API specifies the 0.2% offset ● API Specs 7 and 71 use the 0.2% offset method for tool joints and BHA components, not drill pipe bodies.

Pipe Selection
● When designing the drill string for a well,
plan on using PREMIUM PIPE. ● Even if pipe is new, once it is inspected in service, the highest classification used is PREMIUM, even if the pipe meets Class 1 (new) dimensions. ● Only use pipe of lower class in shallow, non-critical wells. ● We do not use anything less than Premium Class in the North Sea.

Tensile Strength Example
● What’s the yield strength of 5” Grade G ● ●
19.5 lb/ft Premium Class Drill Pipe? First: Pipe dimensions From tables - API RP7G or other source, e.g. Wilson website (see link later)

1. Find the I.D. or wall thickness of the tube 2. 5” x 19.5 ppf – nominal wall thickness = 0.362”, so: I.D. = 5 – (2 x 0.362) or 4.276” 3. O.D.: 20% WT reduction allowable: so Min. O.D. = 5” – (0.362” x 2 x 0.2) = 5” – 0.01448” = 4.8552”

Tensile Strength Example
● What’s the yield strength of 5” Grade G, ● ● ● ●
19.5# Premium Class Drill Pipe? Second: Cross Sectional Area of Steel = (π/4)(OD2-ID2) = (π/4)(4.85522 – 4.2762) = 4.1538 sq.in. Grade G pipe has a Minimum Specified Tensile Yield Stress of 105,000 psi, so: Yield Strength of Pipe = 105,000 x 4.1538 = 436,149 lbf. Or 436,000 lbf. rounded to nearest 1,000.

Area of pale blue – CSA of 5” 19.5# Premium Pipe = 4.1538 sq.in.

Design Factor (or Safety Factor)
● Such tensile strengths are theoretical values
based on minimum areas, wall thickness, and yield strengths ● Yield strength (as defined in API specs) is not the specific point at which permanent deformation of the material begins but the stress at which a certain total deformation has already occurred ● This deformation includes all of the elastic deformation as well as some plastic (permanent) deformation

© Robert Gordon University and Owen S. Jenkins Ltd. 2010

16

Design Factor (or Safety Factor)
● So: if the pipe is loaded to the extent shown
in such tables, it is likely that some permanent stretch will occur; ● Moreover, there are variations in wear and wall thickness, eccentricity etc. ● To allow for these, a design factor of 85% to 90% of the tabulated value is used ● The Operator will define the SF or DF he chooses to use.
© Robert Gordon University and Owen S. Jenkins Ltd. 2010

17

Design Factor (or Safety Factor)
● It may be expressed as:● A percentage e.g. 85% ● A decimal number e.g. 0.85 ●
■ So the Max. allowable stress = Yp x 0.85 Or a figure >1 e.g. 1.18 ■ In which case you DIVIDE the component’s nominal yield strength by the factor to get the maximum allowable load = Yp/1.18 Our design is always based on a percentage of yield strength, NOT ultimate tensile strength.

18

Tensile Strength Example
● Is that answer good enough? ● That is pure tensile load. ● What about torque? ● What about torque + tension? ● What about internal and external yield due to
pressure differences? ● What about bending? ● What about real life? ● A combination of several of the above, most of the time.
© Robert Gordon University and Owen S. Jenkins Ltd. 2010

19

Torsional Yield Strength
● Defined as the resistance of the tube to failure by a ● ● ●
twisting torque or force. The torsional yield strength is based on the shear strength equivalent to 57.7% minimum yield. Considering pipe failure in pure torsion (zero tensile load): API RP7G gives us this formula:Q = 0.096167JYm / D ■ Where Q = Min torsional yield strength, ft-lbs (i.e. lbfft) ■ Ym = Min unit yield strength, psi ■ J = Polar moment of inertia: (π/32)(D4-d4)
© Robert Gordon University and Owen S. Jenkins Ltd. 2010

20

Torsional Yield Strength
● For our 5” 19.5 lb/ft grade G premium
class pipe this is ● Q = 0.096167JYm / D = 0.096167 (π/32)(D4-d4) x 105,000 ÷ D = 0.096167 x.098175(4.85524 – 4.2764) x 105,000 ÷ 4.8552 = 45,200 lbf-ft.
● (or, as it so often called, erroneously, “footpounds”)

Combined Torque and Tension – Pipe Body

Rotary Shouldered Connections
● Normal drill stem connections are Rotary
shouldered connections ● The shoulder serves to seal the connection faceto-face and to transmit torque ● The threads are tapered and normally conform to API standards ● There are also proprietary threads and connections, but we shall stay with API for the time being.

Make-Up Torque (MUT)
● It is most important that a connection is
done up tight enough. ● It is unusual to have too much torque applied at the surface when making-up connections. ● It is very easy to under-torque a connection ● If you do, it may well try tightening itself down-hole (“downhole make-up”)

Allowable Stress
● Maximum make-up stress recommended
by API RP7G in rotary shouldered connections, in weaker of box or pin: ● Tool joints: 60% of minimum tensile yield (= 72,000 psi, for API tool joints) ● BHA components: 62,500 psi, except:
■ 87,500 psi. for 2 7/8 PAC ■ 56,200 psi. for H-90. ■ With a bit of luck, you’ll never need either of these awful connections.
