• Drill pipe length =12520.7 ft and BHA length 799.2 ft
• Drill pipe size= 3.5 inch with 9.5 lb/ft weight so total drill pipe weight
is 118947 lbs
• Drill collar size = 4 inch with 32 lb/ft weight so total weight is 25600
lbs (neutral point 30 ft below jar which is on 12660 ft depth)
• Thus, total axial load total is 144547 lbs

• HP from Rig
• Viewed from its small hook load, rig does not require a large power so power system can
be selected with a power output of 2000 HP.
