Pore Pressure and Fracture Gradient Equation used Pff = 0.33 x [(σ OB / d) + 2 x (σ pore / d)] Pore Pressure Gradient Approximately 0.42 psi/ft Fracture Gradient Approximately 0.73 psi/ft
Casing Design API 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 Water Table between 500 – 2000 foot (From NE) Conductor Casing:50 feet Surface Casing:2200 feet Intermediate Casing: 6000 feet Production Casing:12000 feet

Cement Design Type: 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 = ppg
Cement Design cont’d Ac = ( d out 2 – d in 2 ) / (bbl/ft) Volume = Ac (bbl/ft) * Depth (ft) Casing Cement Volume Conductor 6.5 bbl ft 3 Surface bbl ft 3 Intermediate bbl ft 3 Production bbl ft 3 Total cement Volume bbl ft 3
Drilling Bit Drilling 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)
Drilling How 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) +(t d =350hrs)+C b $25,000]/(F=12,000ft) = $36.02/ft $29, How much will it cost total to drill? $432, Economical Analysis
