| dc.description.abstract | Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) presents significant technical challenges due to
higher mechanical and hydraulic loads in long horizontal sections. This study aims
to conduct a rig selection and horsepower analysis for the RKL-006 well, which has
a true vertical depth of 9,000 ft and 27,325 ft measured depth. The methodology
involves systematic checks or verifications of hoisting, circulating, and rotating
systems using simulations and calculations to determine minimum operational
thresholds and ultimately the horsepower through torque, drag, and operational
parameters. Results show a maximum static hook load of 1,081.11 kip, a minimum
required hoisting horsepower of 1,494.20 HP, a circulating power of 1,443.15 HP,
and a rotating horsepower of 1,009.69 HP. This design theoretically requires only
a 1,500 HP rig. However, based on an evaluation of actual rig specifications, the
study concludes that in reality, the Apexindo 1,500 HP and 2,000 HP rigs fail to
fulfill some of the design requirements. Therefore, the 3,000 HP NDC Rig-14
should be selected as it exceeds all design criteria with the highest safety margin
with a 1,500 kip hook load capacity and 55,250.25 ft.lb torque rating. | en_US |
