Pore Pressure and Fracture Gradient

Equation used

Pff = 0.33 x [(σOB / d) + 2 x (σpore / d)]

Pore Pressure Gradient

Approximately 0.42 psi/ft

Fracture Gradient

Approximately 0.73 psi/ft

Casing DesignAPI GRADE Yield Strength Min Ultimate Strength Min Elongation

J-55 40K (min) – 80K (max) [psi] 60K psi 29.5%

[Table 7.1 from text]

Based off of the calculated yield strength: around 42,000 psi

No need for larger ultimate strength

Cement DesignType: Class C

High early strength properties which allows cement to be used at high water levels.

Regularly used for shallow well cementing operations through salt beds.

Density of the cement = 11.53 ppg

Drilling BitDrilling through shale and sandstone

We will use Poly diamond crystal bit (because they are faster and tend not to break as often as other bits)

Use multi pad drilling (Will use 75% less land)

DrillingHow many days to reach depth?

It will take about 14 and half days to drill to the pay zone with an average rate of penetration of 34.3 ft/hr

How much will it cost per day?

rule-of-thumb for trip-time estimations is 1 hr/1,000 ft of a well.

C= [(R=$1125)( (t=12 hrs) +(td=350hrs)+Cb

$25,000]/(F=12,000ft) = $36.02/ft

$29,652.35

How much will it cost total to drill?

$432,331.27
