Question: Grade E drill pipe has the following mechanical performance 3 9 5 , 6 0 0 l b pipe body yield strength. 5 OD

Grade E drill pipe has the following mechanical performance 395,600lb pipe body yield strength. 5" OD and 19.5lbft. Grade G has 559,800lb pipe body yield strength. Determine at what depth you should change from grade E to G using 18 joints of DC's 8.5" & 21316" and 11 ppg mud. Allow for 100,000lb overpull on all DP before reaching 80% of body yield (do not exceed 80% of body yield any time).
