Final selection of 5 Drillpipe

N-class S-135 grade 5 OD 4.276 ID Nominal weight: 19.50 lb/ft Total length 10,160 ft Able to withstand collapse and burst pressure at 10,160 ft due to formation pressure with API safety design factors. Rigidity when connected to tapered drill as ratio of section moduli < 5.5. Optimum length to ensure MOP of 120,000 lbs ( MOP > 70,000 lbs is the standard). Decrease in yield strength due to axial loading was considered in the calculations.
