laminar flowing pattern applicationFor drilling operations
the fluid flow of mud and
cement slurriesare most important.
When laminar flowing pattern occurs,
the following set of equations can be appliedto calculatethe friction pressure drop [psi] p,

Friction factor estimationIn drilling operations,
the relative roughness is oft assumed to beinsignificant (usually less than 0.0004) whichreduces the friction factor equationto the following equation for smooth pipes:

fluid model, an empirical friction factor correlationbased on the flow behaviour index n is used.

following equation can be appliedto determine the friction factor iteratively:
When the friction factor f is calculated, thecorresponding pressure drop can be calculated with

the total pressure lossat the surface equipmentThe pressure drop in surface connections comprise
the pressure drops along the standpipe,the rotary hose, swivel and kelly.
Since different rigs do use different equipment, thetotal pressure loss at the surface equipment canonly be estimated.

Equivalent drillpipe lengthsfor surface equipmentAnother approach is
to determine the equivalent length of drillpipe for eachsurface equipment and
then use the relevant equations
to determine the surface pressure loss.
The Figure gives the equivalent lengths of thedifferent equipment parts.

pressure drop across the bitThe pressure drop across the bit is mainly due to
the change of fluid velocities in the nozzles.
To increase the penetration rate,
when the mud flows through the nozzlesits speed is increased drastically which causesa high impact force when the mud hits the bottomof the hole.
This high fluid speed on the other handcauses a relative high pressure loss.
This pressure loss is very sensitive to the nozzle seize.

q [gpm] ... flow rate
m [ppg] ... mud density

hydraulic program designThe penetration rate in many formations is
roughly proportional to
the hydraulic horsepower expended at the bit.
To drill most efficiently hydraulic programs aredesigned
for maximum bottom hole cleaning(how much bottom hole cleaning is necessaryto reach maximum penetration rate)
combined with maximum bottom hole cleaning basedon the surface hydraulic horsepower availability.

drilling optimization parametersFor this reason,
mud rheology,
hydraulics (individual pressure drops) and
bit nozzle selectionare the parameters to consider for drilling optimization.
To optimize drilling hydraulics,different approaches can be made.The hydraulics can be designed to either
optimize the nozzle velocity,the bit hydraulic horsepower or
to optimize the jet impact force.

The total pressure dropat the circulation systemThe total pressure drop at the circulation system
is the summation of
the pressure drop at the bit and
the pressure drop throughthe rest of the circulation system.

Optimum hydraulic horsepower andjet impact forceOptimum hydraulic horsepower andjet impact force are given with:
The optimum nozzle area leads to the respectivenozzle selection.
Nozzles for drilling bits are given 1/32 [in] seizes thus thecalculated nozzle area has to be converted into n/32 [in].
Knowing n (has to be an integer and is commonlyrounded down to ensure the nozzle velocity) andthe amount of nozzles to use,the individual seizes are found.

The annular flow of the drilling fluidThe annular flow of the drilling fluid
(carrying drilling cuttings anda certain amount of gas to the surface,)is disturbed by frictional and centrifugal forces
caused by the rotation of the drillstring.
In practice, when it is noticed thatinefficient hole cleaning is present,either the mud flow rate is increased or
the effective viscosity of the mud is increased or
both adjustments are performed.To estimate the slip velocity of the cuttings,following correlation methods were developed empirically
and are widely accepted and used in the industry:

he recommends the usage of the apparent viscosity.

transportation velocityThe so called transportation velocity is defined as
the difference between the mean annular velocity and
the slip velocity . The transportation ratio FT given by:
determines whether the cuttings aretransported to the surface (FT is positive) or not and
provides a relative measure ofthe carrying capability of the drilling mud.
