PETE 4045 – Drilling Engineering Exam # 1 – Fall 2019 Instructor: Dr. Mauricio Almeida Student Name:_________________________________LSUID: 89-__________ Student Listing Number:_________ Gene... ral Instructions:  This is a closed book exam.  Besides you calculator, electronic devices of any kind (mobile phones, iPods, pocket PC’s, etc) are prohibited.  Do not detach any sheet from your exam. Questions on the problems:  You must show your calculations and box the final answer to receive full credit for your work. Use only the space allotted at the respective page to solve these questions.  If you need extra space to develop any question, you can use the final page to do so. However, the content on that page will not be graded.  Failure to indicate the units in your calculation will result in losing points.  Make and state clearly any assumptions that you believe are necessary. September 27th , 2019 Craft & Hawkins Petroleum Engineering Department Louisiana State University Questions 1: Mark A – True or B - False, for the following statements: (20 points – 2 each) Question A(True) B(False) 1.1 The well control system allows you: to close the well at surface, to move the drill string under existing pressure in the well and to divert flow away from rig personnel and equipment. X 1.2 If we are tripping out of the hole and the actual mud volume needed to fill up the hole is greater than calculated, this is a positive indicator of a kick in progress. X 1.3 MWD specifically refers to measurements taken downhole in real time using devices located on BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly). This technique is typically used for higher cost-directional wells. X 1.4 Motion Compensating System is used to avoid that horizontal movement of an offshore floating rigs gets transferred to the drill string, allowing the application of constant weight on bit. X 1.5 When the drawworks drum is almost empty of drilling line, the torque developed at the drawwork can be up to 20% greater than when it is completely full of drilling line. X 1.6 The Drawworks of a drilling Rig is part of the hoisting system. X 1.7 The ECD relates to pressure losses in the drill string. X 1.8 The LMRP of a SS or DS should be disconnected in case the rig is drifting. X 1.9 Among the most important functions for a drilling riser (used when drilling in offshore), we must include: to connect the subsea BOP to the floating drilling unit, to allow full circulation of the drilling mud and to serve as support for auxiliary lines (choke, kill lines, umbilical). X 1.10 The average length of a DC is 30 meters. X For questions 6 to 10: Mark the correct answer. 2- The equipment shown by the figure below refers to which system found on a floating offshore drilling unit? (6 points) [Show More]
