Your drilling team was tasked to formulate a drilling mud to be used to circulate a slim vertical wellbore
PCB4223 with true vertical depth (TVD) of 2,000 ft which is located at the southern part of Seri Iskandah,
Malaysia. The slim wellbore consists of a casing of OD = 13-3/8 inches (ID = 12.565 inches) at a depth of
300 ft followed by an open hole section of diameter, 12.25 inches. The drillstring, which extends to a total
depth of 2,000 ft has OD and ID respectively, 5.5 inches and 4.276 inches. The drill collar is designed as
an integral part of the drill bit with OD and ID of 9 inches and 2.875 inches respectively has a total length
of 50 ft. The mud is required to be circulated at a discharge rate of 550 gpm. The drill bit consists of a tricone bit with a discharge coefficient, Cd, of 0.95 and three varying nozzles sizes of 13/32-in, 14/32-in and
15/32-in. The following data in TABLE 1 were obtained from laboratory experiment for the drilling mud using
a rotational viscometer at 70oF. The measured mud weight was 10.5 ppg. Assume a smooth casing and
drillpipe surface.

Your drilling team was tasked to formulate a drilling mud to be used to circulate a slim vertical wellbore
PCB4223 with true vertical depth (TVD) of 2,000 ft which is located at the southern part of Seri Iskandah,
Malaysia. The slim wellbore consists of a casing of OD = 13-3/8 inches (ID = 12.565 inches) at a depth of
300 ft followed by an open hole section of diameter, 12.25 inches. The drillstring, which extends to a total
depth of 2,000 ft has OD and ID respectively, 5.5 inches and 4.276 inches. The drill collar is designed as
an integral part of the drill bit with OD and ID of 9 inches and 2.875 inches respectively has a total length
of 50 ft. The mud is required to be circulated at a discharge rate of 550 gpm. The drill bit consists of a tricone bit with a discharge coefficient, Cd, of 0.95 and three varying nozzles sizes of 13/32-in, 14/32-in and
15/32-in. The following data in TABLE 1 were obtained from laboratory experiment for the drilling mud using
a rotational viscometer at 70oF. The measured mud weight was 10.5 ppg. Assume a smooth casing and
drillpipe surface.

Your company management has tasked your team to carry out the following assignment for a successful
drilling operation.
a) Characterize the drilling mud rheological constants with the Bingham plastic (BP), Power law (PL),
an Herschel-Bulkley (HB) fluid models using (i) the standard approach and (ii) regression approach.
Also apply the graphical method to predict the rheological constants of the mud sample.
b) Estimate the error margin between the experimental data and the predicted data in (ai) and (aii)
using the error measures (i) mean percent error (MPE) (ii) coefficient of determination, R2. Select
the best rheological model that represents your mud data.
c) Using the best mud rheological properties, estimate the pump pressure required to circulate the
drilling mud from the drillstring to the surface.
d) Estimate the equivalent circulating density (ECD) required for this wellbore operation.
e) Present your findings to the management in both report form and power point presentation.
