Estimating Pressure Dropin Choke Lines
It is important to be able to determine if the pressure drop in the choke line will be a problem (excessive).
Most drilling fluids are Non-Newtonian.
The Bingham Plastic or Power-Law models may be used. More about this later.
![Page 18: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Riser Considerations
Riser Metallurgy is very important. Correct heat treatment is
essential. 80,000 psi min. yield strength and
good toughness is preferred. Preheating, welding & normalizing
after welding is critical for riser integrity & long life.
![Page 19: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Riser Considerations – cont’d
No Field Welding on Riser!
Fatigue of riser cannot be measured prior to some indication of failure.
Routine inspection required.
![Page 20: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Riser Considerations – cont’d
Fatigue is an embrittlement of the metal. It often starts in the vicinity of welds or other places of high stress concentration.
Fatigue is caused by cyclic loading.
![Page 21: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Riser Inspection
Visual Inspection of the riser should occur every time the riser is run.
Check all the sealsCheck all the sealing areas
![Page 22: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Riser Inspection – cont’d
A complete inspection should be made annually.
Dyes: Will detect cracks. To use dyes, paint must be removed.
Magnetic Particle Inspection: Sand blast areas around welds prior to magnetic particle inspection.
![Page 23: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Riser Inspection – cont’d
Ultra-Sonic Inspection: May detect cracks below the surface. This test is run inside pipe. Paint removal is not necessary.
X-Ray Inspection: Is for cracks inside the metal. It may miss surface cracks.
No one technique will find all the cracks.

Ball Joint
A Ball Joint Angle > 4 degrees is an indication that something is wrong!
Vessel has excessive offset
Riser tension is inadequate
![Page 27: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Must decrease ball joint angle before operations are resumed.
Remedial Action:Decrease OffsetIncrease Riser Tension

Vessel to Seafloor Guidance System
Guidelines are used for guiding equipment from the vessel to the seafloor (except in deepwater)
Selection and care of guidelines is critical
![Page 29: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Vessel to Seafloor Guidance System – cont’d
Guidelines should not be tensioned beyond 1/3 of breaking capacity
But…inadequate tension is the most common cause of failure in guidelines
![Page 30: Drilling Riser[1]](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/55267215550346d36e8b4d99/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Vessel to Seafloor Guidance System - cont’d
Tension should be maximum when landing the BOP stack, or when landing the riser onto the stack.
When the guidelines are not being used to run equipment, tension may be slacked off to ~ twice the weight of the line in seawater.

Table 6-1. Recommendations for
Conventionally Used Guidelines
As water depth increases, larger diameter guidelines must be used.
Higher tensioning is required.
Don’t forget to limit tension to < 1/3 of breaking strength.
