Question: Q 1 : ( 2 5 Points ) A planned wellbore consists of a 5 , 0 0 0 - ft vertical section, a build

Q1:
(25 Points)
A planned wellbore consists of a 5,000-ft vertical section, a build up section to horizontal, and a 5,000- ft horizontal section. The build up rate is 5 degrees per 100. A 5-in OD,25.5lbft(in air) steel drill pipe is being used. An 8.5-inch hole is being drilled with 12lbgal mud, and the coefficient of friction is 0.3. Assume that the pipe is (approximately) on the bottom of the hole when rotating and there is no weight on the bit.
Calculate:
Torque at surface when rotating off bottom
Axial load at surface when rotating off bottom
Axial load at surface when pulling out of the hole
Axial load at surface when going into the hole
Plot axial tension vs. measured depth on one graph
Available and net WOB
Available Torque at bit
