Slip Crushing Formula & Calculations For Drill Pipe

Drilling slips exert hoop compression on the Drill Pipe which can deform the pipe if conditions are unfavorable. In this article we shall learn the drill pipe slip crushing formula and calculations. A unit tensile stress St from hanging weight will result in a hoop stress Sh that is a function of many factors such as slip length, …

Drill String Design For Inclined & Horizontal Wells

As was discussed in the previous sections (Drill String Design), the drill string in vertical wells is designed so that the mechanical weight on the bit is provided by the drill collars. The buckling neutral point should always be below the top of the drill collars to prevent any buckling to the DP and HWDP. …
