Rules of Thumb
Tripping Rules of Thumb
Ideally, drillers would like to keep bottomhole
hydrostatic pressure constant during the trip out (POOH)
and the trip in (RIH). However, this is impossible from the
operational standpoint because of swab and surge
pressures. Most tripping rules-of-thumb are closely
associated with maintaining a safe hydrostatic
overbalance that neither causes a kick nor lost
circulation.

Slug Mud Weight Rule of Thumb

Slug mud weight is generally one ppg higher than the
hole mud weight, with the objective being to
unbalance the DP/annulus U-tube by enough to pull
dry pipe. The condition of the mud, related to drill
solids, and/or the mud weight range could influence
the driller to accept less than one ppg.

18

Rules of Thumb
Stuck Pipe

The causes of stuck pipe are broadly classified as

differential or mechanical, and good monitoring and
operating practices will minimize both types of pipe
sticking. Differential sticking is caused by mud pressure
overbalance and is influenced by drilling practices, type
mud solids, permeability, bottom-hole assembly
clearance, coefficient of friction and the lubricating
characteristics of mud. Mechanical sticking is caused by
deterioration of hole stability (shale problems, hole
cleaning, etc.) and/or directional (crooked-hole)
problems.
Rule of Thumb for Differentially Stuck Pipe
The estimated force required to pull free is equal to
the contact force per unit length, times the length of
pipe in contact with permeable formation times the
coefficient of friction. This estimate tends to be more
accurate in a straight hole than in a directional well.
Estimating Formula for Differential Sticking
Fdiff = K (P) Area
Where:
K
(P)

= Sticking coefficient (0.2 water base mud)

= Differential pressure

Area = Contact area

12in. d

Area = L
ft 3
(assume of the drill collar circumference is buried)

Circumference = x Diameter

Conclusion: Force to pull free increases as the length

of pipe in contact with permeable formation
increases, and as the coefficient of friction
between pipe and wall increases.
Example
Given 6 " DC:
d 3.1416 6.25
=
= 6.545 (round to 6.5)
3
3

P = 200 psi (approx. 0.5 ppg overbalance at 8,000 ft)

L = 200 ft (of permeable zone)
Fdiff = 0.2 x 200psi x 200ft x 12in./ft x 6.5in. = 624,000lbs

Rules of Thumb

Free Point and Stretch Estimates

When the drill string is stuck, the free point method can
be used to estimate the amount of free pipe in the hole.
Begin by pulling on the pipe with an initial force (Fi) that
is at least 1,000 pounds more than the hanging weight
of the string, and make a reference mark on the string.
Increase the pull by increments (for example, 5,000 lbs)
to final force (Ff) to determine a measurable stretch.
Mark the string again, measure the distance between
the marks and record as the stretch (S) in inches. Record
the difference between Ff and Fi as the pull increment
(PI). The amount of free pipe (L) in 1,000s of feet below
the rotary can then be estimated. These estimates tend
to be more accurate in straight holes than in directional
wells.
Estimating Formula
The formula for free pipe length L is:
L = 1.9635 S

OD 2 ID 2
PI

The formula for pipe stretch S is:

S=

Pl L
2

1.9635 (OD ID )

Where:
L

= Length of free pipe (1,000s ft)

S
= Stretch (inches)
OD = OD of the pipe (inches)
ID = ID of the pipe (inches)
Pl

= Pull increment (1,000s lbs) = Ff - Fi

Example
Given:
Drillpipe size = 5", 19.5 lb/ft

Fi = 5,000 lb

OD = 5"
ID = 4.276"
Calculate:

Ff = 35,000 lb
S = 12"

PI = 35 5 = 30

The temperature drop across a choke or orifice is

about one degree Fahrenheit (F) per each pressure
drop of one atmosphere (rounded at 15 psi).
Estimating Formula
Tdrop =

(Ph PL ) psi 1F
15 psi

Where:
Tdrop = Temperature drop (degrees)
Ph
PL

= Gas pressure before the choke (psi)

= Gas pressure after the choke (psi)

Example
Calculate temperature drop if the gas pressure is
reduced from 1,000 psi to 500 psi across a choke.
Tdrop =

(1,000 500)
1F
15

= 33 x 1F = 33F temperature drop

Estimating Gas Well Flow Rates

Rule of Thumb
The approximate flow rate (in mmscfd) of a gas well
through a blowdown line choke can be estimated by
multiplying 24 hours/day, times the tubing pressure
plus 15, times the square of the choke size in inches
and divide by 1,000.
Estimating Formula
Q=

24 x (PL + 15) x (Dch)2

1,000

Where:
Q
PL

= Flowrate (mmscfd)
= Pressure upstream of choke (psi)

Dch = Choke size (inches)

Rules of Thumb

21

Example
Calculate the estimated flowrate of a gas well, given
that tubing pressure is 3,500 psi, and choke size is 1/4.
Q=

24 x (3,500 + 15) x (0.25)2

= 5.273 mmscfd

Rules of Thumb

Pipe Elongation Due to Temperature

Since the well has higher temperatures than the air
above ground, an elongation will take place.
Rule of Thumb
Pipe will elongate about 0.83 inches, per 100 feet of
length, per 100 degree F increase in temperature.
Knowing the surface temperature and the average
temperature of the well, the elongation can be
estimated.
Note:
Elongation (stretch) is also caused by the
hanging weight of pipe.
