Barlow's formula (called "Kesselformel" [1] in German) relates the internal pressure that a pipe [2] can withstand to its dimensions and the strength of its material. This approximate formula is named after Peter Barlow , an English mathematician .
During circulation, the pressure applied is due to drilling mud weight and also due to the pressure applied by the mud pumps to circulate the drilling fluid. Pressure under circulating condition = Pressure under static condition + Pressure due to pumping at that point or pressure loss in the system. If we convert pressure under circulating ...
Pump pressure, which is also referred to as system pressure loss, is the sum total of all the pressure losses from the oil well surface equipment, the drill pipe, the drill collar, the drill bit, and annular friction losses around the drill collar and drill pipe. It measures the system pressure loss at the start of the circulating system and ...
Positive-pulse tools briefly close and open the valve to restrict the mud flow within the drill pipe. This produces an increase in pressure that can be seen at surface. The digital information can be encoded in the pressure signal using line codes or pulse-position modulation. [8] Diagram showing the MWD Negative pulse
The pipe stretch free point estimate is a good starting point for identifying the free point. Pull the drillstring to the pipe's neutral weight, which is the combined weight of blocks and the weight of the drill string and make a mark(X 1)(in) at the top of the rotary table.
Drill pipe is most often considered premium class, which is 80% remaining body wall (RBW). After inspection determines that the RBW is below 80%, the pipe is considered to be Class 2 or "yellow band" pipe. Eventually the drill pipe will be graded as scrap and marked with a red band. Drill pipe is a portion of the overall drill string.

Mud weight can be decreased by dilution or solids control equipment such as an industrial centrifuge, desilter, desander and shale shaker . Mud weight use to control the trapped fluids or gas in the formations by adding a hydro static pressure on them, increasing the mud weight = increasing the hydro static pressure.
