Neutral
Point The neutral point in a drill string can be defined as the point
where the string changes from tension to compression
This point is a function of bit weight and buoyancy
, ,the whole drillstring is suspended off bottom, in this case theentire string is in tension with neutral point right at the bit.Secondly, imagine the whole drillstring is set on bottom with noload being taken by the surface equipment, in this case the stringis in compression and the neutral point is at surface.
s mpor an o now e oca on o s rans on po n orneutral point for several reasons. If the neutral point is at the jars,for example, then the drill string and jars could both be damaged.If the neutral oint is allowed to move u into the drill i e
buckling could occur.

assembly for regular vertical and directional drilling operations whenpossible. There may be a problem in high angle and horizontal drillingin this respect because of the difficulty in maintaining bit weight.Dama e at the neutral oint ma be stron l de endent u ondrillstring rotation, and consideration should be given to critical rotary
speeds and their associated harmonics.

Where:
L = Distance from bottom of HWDP to NP
BW = Bit Weight
Wc
= Weight per foot of collars
L = Len th of collars
Whw = Weight per foot of Hevi-Wate
BF = Buoyancy Factor
Check first though to see if the NP is within the collars

1. Static Load
The design of the drillstring for static tension loadsrequires sufficient strength in the topmost joint of
each size, weight, grade and classification of drillpipe to support the submerged weight of all the drill,
stabilizers, and bit.
e an s a zer we g s are e er neg ec eor are included with the drill collar weight.
This load may be calculated as shown in thefollowing equation:

formula above it is likely that some permanent stretch will
occur and difficulty may be experienced in keeping the
pipe straight.
90% of the tabulated tension value is recommended.

2.Overpull
If the drill string were to get stuck in the well bore,the operator would want to know how much additionalens on, or pu , can e app e o e s r ng e ore
exceeding the yield point of the drill pipe. This isknown as overpull since it is pull force over the weight
.
Maximum overpull is the difference between the
overpull (MOP) is normally applied)

MarginofOverpull(MOP)
The difference between the calculated load FTENand the maximum allowable tension load
represents the Margin of Over Pull (MOP):
called the Safety Factor (SF).
