Lower Section of Drill String Length that is in Compression Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lower Section of Drill String Length = (Density of Drilling Mud*Length of Pipe Hanging in Well)/Mass Density of Steel
L_c = (ρ_m*L_Well)/ρ_s
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Lower Section of Drill String Length - Lower Section of Drill String Length that is in Compression depends on the density of the drilling mud, length of pipe in well and mass density of steel.
Density of Drilling Mud - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Drilling Mud considering a steel drilling pipe hanging in an oil well.
Length of Pipe Hanging in Well - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Pipe Hanging in Well is essential in calculating all other values required in drilling.
Mass Density of Steel - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Mass Density of Steel varies based on the alloying constituents but usually ranges between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m3.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density of Drilling Mud: 1440 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1440 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Pipe Hanging in Well: 16 Meter --> 16 Meter No Conversion Required
Mass Density of Steel: 7750 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 7750 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_c = (ρ_m*L_Well)/ρ_s --> (1440*16)/7750

Evaluating ... ...

L_c = 2.97290322580645

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.97290322580645 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.97290322580645 ≈ 2.972903 <-- Lower Section of Drill String Length

Coordinate measured Downward from Top given Tension on Vertical Drill String

Go Coordinate measured Downward from Top = -((Tension on Vertical Drill String/(Mass Density of Steel*[g]*Cross Section Area of Steel in Pipe))-Length of Pipe Hanging in Well)

Cross Section Area of Steel in Pipe given Tension on Vertical Drill String

Go Cross Section Area of Steel in Pipe = Tension on Vertical Drill String/(Mass Density of Steel*[g]*(Length of Pipe Hanging in Well-Coordinate measured Downward from Top))

Mass Density of Steel for Tension on Vertical Drill String

Go Mass Density of Steel = Tension on Vertical Drill String/([g]*Cross Section Area of Steel in Pipe*(Length of Pipe Hanging in Well-Coordinate measured Downward from Top))

Tension on Vertical Drill String

Go Tension on Vertical Drill String = Mass Density of Steel*[g]*Cross Section Area of Steel in Pipe*(Length of Pipe Hanging in Well-Coordinate measured Downward from Top)

What is Buoyancy?

Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float. It is the force exerted on an object that is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy is caused by the differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid. It is also known as the buoyant force.
