Pore Pressure and Fracture Gradient

Equation used
Pff = 0.33 x [(OB / d) + 2 x (pore / d)]

Pore Pressure Gradient Approximately 0.42 psi/ft

Fracture Gradient
Approximately 0.73 psi/ft

Cement Design
Type: Class C
High early strength properties which allows cement to be used at high water levels.
Regularly used for shallow well cementing operations through salt beds.

Density of the cement = 11.53 ppg

Drilling Bit
Drilling through shale and sandstone

We will use Poly diamond crystal bit (because they are

faster and tend not to break as often as other bits)

Use multi pad drilling (Will use 75% less land)

Drilling
How many days to reach depth?

It will take about 14 and half days to drill to the pay

zone with an average rate of penetration of 34.3 ft/hr

Economical Analysis
How much will it cost per day?
rule-of-thumb for trip-time estimations is 1 hr/1,000 ft of
a well.

C= [(R=$1125)( (t=12 hrs) +(td=350hrs)+Cb

$25,000]/(F=12,000ft) = $36.02/ft

$29,652.35

How much will it cost total to drill?

$432,331.27
