Question: You are drilling a 1 2 - 1 4 hole at 8 , 0 0 0 f t using 5 . 0 OD

You are drilling a 12-14" hole at 8,000ft using 5.0" OD 4.276 ID drill pipe and 800 It
of 8.0234 in. drill collars. The well has 13-38,68lbs??ft casing (ID 12.415'') set at
6000 ft . Mud is pumped down the drill pipe at the rate of 630galmin. Mud properties
are: density =12.0ppg, viscosity =14cP, yield point =20lb100sq-ft. The bit has three
0.50" ID nozzles.
Calculate the pressure loss in the drill pipe.
Calculate the pressure loss in the drill collars.
Calculate the pressure loss across the bit.
Calculate the pressure loss across the drill collar and open hole annulus.
Calculate the pressure loss across the drill pipe and open hole annulus.
Calculate the pressure loss across the drill pipe and cased hole annulus.
Calculate the horse power of the mud pump required to pump the mud at 630 gpm .
Calculate the equivalent circulation density
