Stripping/snubbing calculations - Breakover point between stripping and snubbing

Input(s)

DpD p: Pipe or collar OD (in.)

P: Wellbore Pressure (psi)

WdcW_{d c}: Weight of Drill Collar (lb/ft)

L: Drill Collar Length (ft)

BF: Buoyancy Factor (dimensionless)

WdpW_{d p}: Drill Pipe Weight (lb/ft)(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

F: Force created by wellbore pressure on Drill collar or pipe (lb)

W: Weight of Drill Collar (lb)

WadpW_{a d p}: Additional weight required from Drill Pipe (lb)

LbpL_{b p}: Length of Drill Pipe required to reach over breakover point (ft)

LdsL_{d s}: Length of Drill string req to reach breakover point (ft)

Formula(s)

F=Dp20.7854PW=WdcLBFWadp=FWLbp=WadpBFWdpLds=L+Lbp\begin{gathered} F=D p^{2} * 0.7854 * P \\ W=W_{d c} * L * B F \\ W_{a d p}=F-W \\ L_{b p}=\frac{W_{a d p}}{B F * W_{d p}} \\ L_{d s}=L+L_{b p} \end{gathered}
