Question: Given the following data for a drilling rig. Derrick height = 1 3 6 f t Weight of travelling block and hook = 2 6

Given the following data for a drilling rig.
Derrick height =136ft
Weight of travelling block and hook =26,000lbf
Wire rope size =138
Wire rope is galvanized 619 round strand wire rope with independent wire rope core and made of extra improved plow steel.
Drawworks' drum diameter =26' two-step spiraled grooving
The rig must hoist a load of 500.000lbf. The drawworks can provide an input power of 1000hp to the fast line. Twelve lines are strung between the crown block and the traveling block and the dead line is anchored to a derrick leg on one side of the v-window (see Fig)
Estimate the load of each line strunk between the crown block and traveling block.
Estimate the load of dead-line.
Estimate the load of fast-line during hoisting.
4. Estimate the maximum hook horsepower available for hoisting.
Estimate the maximum hoisting speed.
Estimate the required time needed to pull a 90-ft stand.
Estimate the design factor for the drilling wire rope.
Does the estimated wire rope design factor satisfy API recommendation for hoisting.
Estimate work in ton-miles between wire rope cuts.
Estimate the cut-off length of wire rope.
Estimate the actual derrick load given that the grown block weighs 25,000lbf.
Calculate the maximum equivalent derrick load.
Calculate the derrick efficiency factor.
