Basic Rig Math

Knowledge of Basic Math concepts is necessary to understand increasingly technical drilling technology and practices. Unocal philosophy is to understand pressures and pressure changes in the well. The factors that cause the pressure changes should be calculated to insure that BHP is constant and that the utube is functioning.

Well Control
With all the emphasis that we place on mathmatics and calculations, Well Control is still as simple as a playground teeter-totter. As we continue learning how to calculate BHP, Hydrostatic Pressure, Gradients, Volumes and Force - Keep in mind this simple picture.

Hydrostatic = 5000 psi

Hydrostatic = 5000 psi

BHP = 5000 psi

Rules of Math
Always do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. For example, calculate; 2X3 +5= 2 X 3 =6 6 + 5 = 11 When Parentheses ( ) are in an equation they determine what order or sequence to perform the operations. For example, calculate 2 X (3 + 5) = (3 + 5) = 8 2X 8 = 16 Always perform the function inside the parentheses first.

Rules of Math
When brackets [ ] are in an equation these operations should be performed after the operations inside the parentheses. For example, calculate; 7 + [2 X (3 + 5)] = 7 + [2 X 8] = 7+ 16 = 23
Without the Rules of Math the equation would give you a different answer;

7+2X3+5= 9X3+5= 27 + 5 = 32

Rules of Math

When Brackets and Parentheses do not appear, carry out multiplication and/or division in the order they occur: For example, calculate;

12 z 6 x 2 = 2 x2=4

14 X (2 + 7) = (14 X 2) + 7 = 14 - (2 + 7) = (14 - 2) + 7 =

Rules of Math

Exponents: An exponent is a small number to the top right of another number; example 32. 3 is the base and 2 is the exponent. To solve this number you would multiply the base times itself as many times as the exponent says to; example 3 X 3 = 9 In our world we use exponents when we calculate capacity. For example the capacity of 5 19.5 lb/ft pipe with 4.28 ID would be -

ID2 z 1029.4 = bbl/ft 4.282 z 1029.4 = (4.28 x 4.28) z 1029.4 = .01776 bbl/ft

Capacity
ID2 z 1029.4 = bbl/ft 4.282 z 1029.4 = (4.28 x 4.28) z 1029.4 = .01776 bbl/ft 4.28 ID

.01776 bbl of fluid

1 ft of pipe

Capacity
To calculate the fluid capacity with a pipe inside of casing (Annular Capacity) the equation would be; (ID2 - OD2) z 1029.4 = bbl/ft (ID2 - OD2) z 1029.4 = bbl/ft 8.68 ID of Casing
(8.682 - 52) z 1029.4 = [(8.68 x 8.68) - (5 x 5)] z 1029.4 = 50.34 z 1029.4 = .0489 bbl/ft

Pressure
In our industry, when we are measuring pressure it is usually pressure created with a fluid. We will describe most of these in our Well Control class. For now lets talk about fluid at rest. Fluid at rest creates a pressure that we call Hydrostatic Pressure.

1 ft. = .052 gal. 12

12 X 12 = 144 in2 A one cubic foot container will hold 7.5 gallons of fluid. Because we are measuring our pressure in square inches, we section the base into square inches. If I now divide the 7.5 gallons by 144 square inches, we find that a column of fluid 1in X 1in X 1ft tall contains .052 gallons of fluid.

17

Gradient
If our fluid density is measured in pounds per gallon you can then multiply the fluid weight (ppg) by .052 to find the hydrostatic pressure (psi) exerted by one foot of this fluid. This is called the pressure gradient (G) of the fluid or the pressure change per foot (psi/ft).

Gradientpsi/ft = Fluid Weightppg x .052 x 1ft If we fill the .052 gallon container with 10 ppg fluid, what will be the pressure?
1 1

10ppg x .052gal/sq. in./ft = Pressureft 10 x .052 = .52 psift

1 ft. = .052 gal.

This means that for every foot of mud in the well, the pressure increases by .52 psi. So, Gradientpsi/ft x TVDft = Pressurehydrostatic

Stripping Force
As soon as the BOPs are closed, any pressure below the element is a force that is trying to push the pipe out of the hole.

500

The BOP element contacting the pipe creates friction, which is a force that must be overcome for the pipe to move up or down.

The Force down is the weight of the Pipe.

Force
The workstring weighs 150,000 lbs. The annular is closed in around the 5 19.5 lb/ft pipe with 6 5/8 tool joints. Are we in a safe condition? Can we strip to bottom through the annular?(ignore friction)

.785 x 52 = .785 x (5 x 5) = .785 x 25 = 19.625 19.625 x 6500 = 127,563 lbs upward force

150,000 > 127,563 We are in a safe condition .785 x 6.6252 = .785 x (6.625 x 6.625) = .785 x 43.89 = 34.45 34.45 x 6500 = 223,925 lbs upward force 150,000 < 223,925 We cannot strip the tool joint through the annular.

Taking Tests
First, think about how we measure pressure in the well? Hydrostaticpsi = MW x .052 x TVD We know the mud weight so we can find the fluid column height. 100 psi 100 Psi Psi/ft = (15.5 x .052) = .806 = 124 ft

a) 6 bbls b) 10 bbls c) 14 bbls d) 20 bbls

Once we know how many feet of mud we can multiply it times the capacity to find out how many barrels. Ft x BBL/Ft = 124 x [(8.6812 - 52) z 1029.4] = = 124 x .0489 = 6 bbls
