Drilling ton miles - Round trip ton miles

Input(s)

$\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{p}}$: Buoyed Weight of Drill Pipe $(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft})$

D: Depth of Hole (ft)

$\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{p}}$: Length of One Stand of Drill Pipe (ft)

$\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{b}}$: Weight of Travelling Block (lb)

Wdc: Weight of Drill Collar Per Feet (lb/ft)

Wdp: Drill Pipe Weight Per Feet (lb/ft)

L: Drill Collar Length $(\mathrm{ft})$

BF: Buoyancy Factor (dimensionless)

Output(s)

$\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{c}}$: Buoyed Weight of Drill Collars-buoyed Weight of Drill Pipe (lb)

$\mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{TM}}$: Round Trip Ton Miles (ton miles)

Formula(s)

$$ \begin{gathered} \mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{c}}=\mathrm{L} * \mathrm{BF} *(\mathrm{Wdc}-\mathrm{Wdp}) \\ \mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{TM}}=\frac{\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{p}} * \mathrm{D} *\left(\mathrm{~L}_{\mathrm{p}}+\mathrm{D}\right)+(2 * \mathrm{D}) *\left(2 * \mathrm{~W}_{\mathrm{b}}+\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{c}}\right)}{5280 * 2000} \end{gathered} $$
