Frictionless, Inclined, Straight Wellbore:

1. Consider a section of pipe in the

wellbore.

In the absence of FRICTION the forces acting on the pipe are buoyed weight, axial tension and the reaction force, N, normal to the wellbore.

Problem 2

Consider a well with a long horizontal section. An 8,000-ft long string of 7” OD csg. is in the hole. Buoyed weight of pipe = 30 lbs/ft. µ = 0.3

(a) What force will it take to move this pipe along the horizontal section of the wellbore?

(b) What torque will it take to rotate this pipe?

Page 15: 36 Torque and Drag Calculations

Problem 2 - Solution - Force

(a) What force will it take to move this pipe along the horizontal section of the wellbore?

F = ? F = 0N

W

N = W = 30 lb/ft * 8,000 ft = 240,000 lb

F = µµµµN = 0.3 * 240,000 lb = 72,000 lb

Force to move pipe, F = 72,000 lbf

Page 16: 36 Torque and Drag Calculations

16

Problem 2 - Solution - Force

(b) What torque will it take to rotate this pipe?

As an approximation, let us assume that the pipe lies on the bottom of the wellbore.

Then, as before, N = W = 30 lb/ft * 8,000 ft = 240,000 lbfTorque = F*d/2 = µµµµNd/2 = 0.3 * 240,000 lbf * 7/(2 * 12) ft

Horizontal - Torque

A more accurate equation for torque in a horizontal wellbore may be obtained by taking into consideration the fact that a rotating pipe will ride up the side of the wellbore to some angle φ.

Taking moments about the point P:Torque, T = W * (d/2) sin φφφφ
