Exercise 1 The Hoisting System
A drillstring with a buoyant weight of 200,000 lbs must be pulled from the well. A total of 8 lines are strung between the crown block and the travelling block. Assuming that a four sheave, roller bearing system is being used.
a. The tension in the fast line :
F |
Tf = 29691 lbs
b. The tension in the deadline
c. The vertical load on the rig when pulling the string
Total = 200000 + 29691 + 25000 = 254691 lbs
Consider a triplex pump having 6in. liners and 11in. stroke operating at 120 spm and a discharge pressure of 3000 psi.
a. The volumetric output at 100% efficiency
Q =
b. The Horsepower output of the pump when operating under the conditions above.
