Notes: Print the following document and solve inside in the same sheet.
Use the calculator and the equations and do not use the tables directly. You can then compare
your calculated results with the values from the tables.

Question 1:
What is the total make-up loss for a 9000 ft string of 5.5" with long threads and
coupling?

LJ : Make-up losses
LC : Length of Coupling
J : Distance from center of coupling to end casing

Answer:

Question 2:
What is the total make-up loss for a 4000 ft string of 9 5/8 - in, 40 Ib/ft, J- 55, with
short Threads and Couplings?

Answer:

Question 3:
Calculate the make-up loss per joint for 7", 26 casing with short threads and
coupling. Also, calculate the loss per thousand feet of casing and casing required
per thousand feet of make-up string, expressing the answer in terms of L, the
average length of casing in feet?
