Dogleg Severity Limit
Dogleg Severity Limit
In corrosive environments, reduce dogleg severity to a fraction (0.6 for very severe conditions) of the indicated value. INPUT DATA Drill pipe OD = 5.00 inches Drill pipe ID = 4.276 inches Yield strength (E=75,000 S=135,000) = 75000 psi Mud weight = 9.2 ppg True vertical depth of dogleg = 1000 feet Total true vertical depth at TD = 5170 feet SECTION 1 TVD length of 5" pipe below dogleg = 3615 feet Weight per foot with tool joints = 20.89 lbs/ft SECTION 2 TVD length of 5" HWDP below dogleg = 495 feet Weight per foot with tool joints = 49.3 lbs/ft SECTION 3 TVD length of 8" collars below dogleg = 60 feet Weight per foot = 149.76 lbs/ft
CALCULATED DATA Maximum permissible dogleg severity (fatique) = 5.63 Maximum DLS for 2000 lb tool joint force = 4.08 Actual tool joint normal force at maximum DLS = 2762 Tension at dogleg = 93660 Tensile stress = 17757 Bending stress = 16518 Moment of Inertia = 14.2692 Constant KL = 2.6625 Tanh KL = 0.9903 Bouyancy factor = 0.86
