Pressure Loads Calculations
Burst Pressure Calculation Collapse Pressure Calculation
Bottom hole pressure = 0.052 × pore pressure × TVD Seawater density = 1.03 sg = 1.03 × 8.345 = 8.6 ppg
Gas pressure = 0.1 × TVD Collapse pressure = 0.052 × 8.6 × TVD
Burst Pressure = Bottom hole pressure – gas pressure
For 5 𝟏Τ𝟐” casing,
Example. For 5 𝟏Τ𝟐” casing, Collapse pressure = 0.052 × 8.6 × (3725 × 3.281) = 5465.56 psi = 37.68
Bottom hole pressure = 0.052 × 14.8 × (3750 × 3.281) = MPa
9468 psi
Gas Pressure = 0.1 × (3725 × 3.281) = 1222.17 psi
And by looking in the drilling data handbook, the casing grade
Burst Pressure = 9405 - 1222.17 = 8246 psi = 56.9 MPa that can withstand 56.9 MPa (Burst Pressure) and 37.68 MPa
(Collapse Pressure) is P110 with wall thickness 0.361 in.

Drilling Fluid Selection
General Procedures for planning a Mud Program
• Obtain pore pressures and casing program.
• Look for geological hazards beginning with the deepest hole section.
• Set mud weights.
• Select mud types by interval, trying to match one interval to the next.
• Determine material requirements.
• Develop contingency plans for kicks, hole trouble, etc.
• Line up supply of water, chemicals, etc.

Drill Collar Selection
Why do we use drill collar?
1) Decide the sizes and weights of drill collar with respect to bit sizes.
2) Determine the buoyancy factors of the drill collars with respect to bit sizes.
3) Calculate the required drill collar lengths with safety factor 0.85 to ensures the only
85% of the buoyed weigth of the drill collars is used.
4) Finally, determine the number of drill collars needed.
22
Drill Collar Selection
For 8-5/8” bit, 6-1/2” drill collar is recommended. 6-1/2” drill collar with ID 3” ID is selected.

Rig Sizing and Selection
The proper procedure for rig selection is to size or design the various loads
that will be placed on the equipment and to select the most cost-effective rig that
will satisfy these requirements.
