3.14 Center of Drill Hole. The center of the drill hole shall be a t the center of the derrick base within TL tolerance of *% in.

3.15 Girt and Brace Connections. For derricks 94 ft. and greater in height, with a maximum safe load rating, with or without leg reinforcing, of 312,000 lb or more, all girts and braces carrying compressive loading shall be connected a t their ends with at least two bolts in full holes.

3.16 Bolt-Hole Sizes. Holes in girts, sills, and post connections shall admit s/a -in. bolts. Slotted holes may be provided in post connections, but not in girts and sills.

NOTE: I t is recommended (Rut not required), thut, for %-in. bolts, punched or drilled holes be 18 in. diameter and that cored holes be 74 in. diameter.

3.17 Leg Swtions. Each leg section shall be cut to length with a tolernnce of 11/64 in. The ends of the abutting leg sections shall be properly faced to give uniform bearing throughout the derrick. For the unre- inforced derrick the connecting joints shall be de- signed t o hold the abutting lez sections accurately in alignment under a combined safc working load and wind load equal to at least the specified capacities. For the reinforced derrick the connecting joints shall be designed to hold the abutting leg sections accurately in alignment under a combined reinforced safe work- ing load and wind load equal t o a t least the specified caparities,

3.18. Maximum Safe Load Without Leg Reinforc- in?.* The maximum safe load, in pounds, without leg reinforcing shall be equal to the sum of the strengths of the four leg members at their weakest section, determined in accordance with Par. 3.31. The weight of the derrick structure shall not be taken into account in computing this load.

3.19. Maximum Safe Load With Leg Reinforcing.' The maximum safe load, in pounds, with properly applied leg reinforcing shall be equal to the sum of the strengths of the four leg members a t their weakest section, the strenpth of each reinforced leg to be the sum of the strengths of the two or more lea elements, determined in accordance with Par. 3.31. The weigh+ of the derrick structure shall not be taken into account in computing this load.

*Caution: If the dead line is anchored to a corner of the derrick opposite the draw works, the maximum rated static hook load of the derrick may be expressed as* times the derrick capacity, where n is the number of lines strung to the traveling block. For example, the maximum rated static hook load of a derrick having 6 lines up will be only 60 per cent of the API derrick capacity. When the dead line is anchored elsewhere, it will be necessary that the further reduction in static hook-load capacity be de- termined.

NOTE: T h e load under whklt failure of an unreinforced o r reinforced dermck may be ex- pected, assuming the four derrick legs to be loaded uniformly, can be given only at approxi- mately twice the respective maximum sa fe load. This i n f o m a t i o n shall not appear on the name plate.

3.20 Maximum Safe Load for Water-Table Beams. The maximum safe load for water-table beams shall be at least equal to the maximum safe load for the derrick, except that this safe load need not exceed 570,000 lb for derricks 136 f t and shorter. If a maxi- mum safe load for a derrick with leg reinforcing is given on the name plate, the safe load for the water- table beams shall be a t least equal to the maximum safe load for the derrick with leg reinforcing, irrespec- tive of whether or not delivery of the reinforcing legs is called for simultaneously on the purchase order, except that this safe load need not exceed 570,000 Ib for derricks 136 f t and shorter.

3.21 Unit Wind Load. The minimum unit wind load for 80-, 87-, 94-, 122-, and 136-ft derricks with pipe setback shall be 11.76 psf. The minimum unit wind load for 140-, 147-, and 189-ft derricks shall be 22.50 psf with pipe setback, and 52.90 psf without pipe setback.

3.22 Application of Wind Load. The unit wind load shall be considered to be applied to the exposed area of two directly opposite sides of the derrick and also, except as indicated in Par. 3.21, to a pipe setback standing within the derrick, assuming the derrick to be unboarded, the four legs to be solidly anchored, and the derrick to be unguyed. Exposed areas of pipe setback shall have the assumed dimensions given in Col. 6, Table 3.3; and the point of application of the wind load on the pipe setback shall be as specified in Par. 3.26.

3.23 Diagonal Wind Load. To provide for the con- tingency of diagonal wind loading, the legs, leg splices, and anchorage shall be designed to resist loads 1.414 times those computed in accordance with Par. 3.21 and 3.22.

3.24 The wind load in pounds per square foot shall be calculated by the following formula:

wherein: P = 0.004 V2 P = unit wind load, pounds per square foot. V = actual wind velocity, miles per hour.

NOTE: Actual wind veloczties corresponding to unit wind loads of 11.76, 22.50, and 52.90 ps f are 54, 75, and 115 mph, respectively. An actual wind velocity of 54 mph i s equivalent to 70 m p h indicated velocity as determined by the Robinson f our-cup anemometer. Wind velocities reported by the U . S. Weather Bureau stations are cur- rently determined o n more accurate instruments and are corrected to within approxhmtely 1 per cent of the actual wind velocities.

3.25 Horizontal Component of Pipe Setback Weight. The horizontal component of the weight of pipe set- back, a t the point of origin, shall be assumed to have the value shown in Col. 8, Table 3.3.

3.26 Point of Application of Pipe Setback Load. The wind load on the pipe setback and the horizontal component of the weight of pipe setback shall be assumed as applied normal to the finger board (and belly board f o r the 189-ft derrick). The distance from the adjacent derrick side to the point of application of these loads shall‘ be:

N O T E : I n preuiozc8 e d i t i m of th+ specification, assumed pape setback w a g h t s and wand area8 were established in order to p r d e for stu-ked der- rick designs. I n the fourteenth and subsequent edi- tions these assumed loadings have been retained, in order to Tetain existing designs. I n Table 3.3, these assumed lo+ings are ezpressed in tem of total length of p p e , weight per foot, and dimensions o f pipe setback. (Pipe sizes, total lengths, and weighta per foot f o r lS6 - f t and smaller dem'cks have been adjmted to conform to cuwent field practices and because of this their relationship to windload a r e a are only approximately equivalent.) If the assumed setback load conditions shown in Table 3.8 are ex- ceeded, proper pTecautions s h l d be taken to protect the derrick under conditions of high wìnd loa&

N O T E : The Wind-load area of the pàpe setback, wind load on the pipe setback, horizontal component of the weight of ths pipe setback, and the combined resultant of these two @ds, all as given in Table 8.9,

' are based on the followang a s s u m p t a m and computa- tions :

a. Wind-Load Area of Pipe Setback. The areas fo r w'nd loading f o r pipe setbacks given in Col. 7, Table S.S, are based on the assumed heiahts of stands. number of stands, and arrangement Õ f stands sh& in Table $3.

b. Wind Load on Pipe Setback. The wind loads on the pipe setback a t the point o f origin, as given in Col. 9, Table S J , are based on the area of pipe set- back (Col. 7), times specified minimum unit wind load (Par. 3.21).

Example (186-ft dewick) :

e. H m k o n t a l Component of Weight o f Pipe Set- back. The horizontal components o f the weight of pipe setback a t the point of m i i n , g i v m in Col. 8, Table J J , are based on the total number of f e e t of dd l l pipe in the setbaek (Col. I ) , the weight per foot f o r the par- ticular size (Col. s), and a n angle o f inclination of 2% deg. The m i g h t values shown are assumed acting at the approximate c e n t w of gravitg of the ipe setback, a t a height above the dewick floor e q u a f t o one half the b n g t h of the stand, measured parallel to the slope. The weight of pipe shown in Col. 5 is the nominal weight o f threaded*&-coupled external-upset tubing or o f dl-ill pipe wa'th a tool joint at each connection, f o r the mi6 sizes shown in Cot. 3, Table S.3.

Example (186-ft dewick and 54% ddlì pipe): Ho1.izontul component at point o f origin, +a

pcrunds, equals the total number o f f e e t of drùl pipe in setback (8,900), times weight per foot (22.51, times &ne of 9 % deg (0.04362).

8,900 x 22.5 x 0.04962 = 8,720 lb at point o f orig3n.

à. Combined Resultant Load. T h e combined ~ e - sultant loads, a t the point of support (finger board or belly board) a8 given in Col. 11 and 12, Table 3.8, are based on the loads at the point of m 'g in (Col. 8 and 9) tramlated to the point or points o f support in the derrick.

510 x 11.76 = 6,000 lb a t point of origin.

Example ( I S B - f t dewick and 5 - h drüf pipe): Wt = combined resultant load a t uls finger board

a =one half ths heàght of the pipe setback (34 tha height given in Col. 6, Table SJ).

b = finger-board height from derrick poor (Col. 10, Table 33).

N O T E : The combined resultant loads a t the finger board and bellv board for the 189-ft der- rick, as given in Table 33, were calculated by the theorem of three moments.

3.27 Gin-Pole Load. The nominal safe load, in pounds, for the gin pole shall be defined as the load that can safely be raised with a single pulley sus- pended at the center of the gin pole. The nominal safe load shall not be less than speciñed in Col. 1, Table 3.4.

3.28 Gin-Pole Design Loads. Gin poles shall be de- signed to withstand the vertical and horizontal loads specified in Table 3.4. These loads shall be considered as acting simultaneously and as concentrated at the center of the cross beam.

3.32 Joints, Girts, and Braces. Joints, girts, braces, and their connections shall be designed to sustain safely the maximum stress imposed by the following load conditions, acting independently:

a. A load condition consisting of a wind load as specified in Par. 3.21, 3.22, and 3.23, together with a coincident pipe setback load as specified in Par. 3.25 and 3.26.

b. A load condition consisting of three Co-acting loads as follows:

1. A concentric crown-block load equal to 1.2 times the derrick maximum safe load, assumed as acting concentric with the derrick.

2. A pipe setback load as specified in Par. 3.25 and 3.26.

3. A horizontal load of 3,000 lb or 0.01 times the maximum safe load of the derrick, whichever is the least, applied at the top of the derrick leg at one cor- ner of the derrick, in the plane of the derrick side and in the same direction as the horizontal com- ponent of the pipe setback weight. 3.33 When heavy g i r t s on opposite sides of the der-

rick are ordered for the support of the working plat- form, derrickman, and pipe tongs with counterweight, such girts shall be designed to sustain a vertical load of 1,200 lb applied 3 f t from the derrick leg or adjacent derrick side.

3.34 Water-Table Beams. Water-table beams shal1 be designed in accordance with the following for- mulas:

a. For derricks 136 f t and shorter:

W = - 12 M L

12 (Sm) (fc)

L - - or 570,000, whichever is smaller.

b. For derricks 140 f t and higher, for both 6 f t 6 in. and 7 f t 6 in. water-table openings:

16M

L Wt = -

wherein: W or Wt = maximum safe load f o r two water-

M = bending moment, inch-pounds. L = distance between neutral axes of legs at the

bottom of water-table beams, or between the load axes if derrick is reinforced, inches.

Sm = section modulus of the water-table beam (one beam), inches cubed.

fe = allowable until stress on extreme fibers as stipulated in Sect. 5, pounds per square inch.

3.35 End Bearing and Webs of Water-Table Beams. The end bearing and webs of the water-table beams of an unreinforced derrick shall be proportioned to fully develop the maximum safe load of the unrein- forced derrick leg, or one-fourth the maximum safe load of the derrick. The end bearing and webs of water- table beams of a reinforced derrick shall be propor- tioned to fully develop the maximum safe load of the reinforced derrick leg, o r one-fourth the maximum safe load of the reinforced derrick. In the event that a maximum safe load for a derrick with leg reinforc- ing is given on the API name plate, the end bearing and webs of the water-table beams shall be propor- tioned to fully develop the maximum safe load of the reinforced derrick leg, irrespective of whether or not delivery of the reinforcing legs is called for simul- taneously on the purchase order. The determinations of the strength of the webs of beams to properly resist crippling a t the toe of the fillet shall be made in accordance with the allowable unit stresses given in Sect. 5. It shall be assumed that the leg top plate is designed to provide sufficient strength throughout its entire effective area. Where it is impractical to posi- tion the web of thc water-table beams directly over the neutral axes of the derrick legs, the water-table structure shall be designed to resist the resulting eccentric loading.

3.36 Supplemental Design Details. The manufac- turer shall furnish, upon request from an actual pros- pective purchaser, all details of his computations or drawings as may be necessary for a complete check against this specification. It is understood that such information furnished is only for the use of such actua1 prospective purchaser or his designated engi- neer and that when said purchaser or his agents finish with the data it will be returned to the manufacturer furnishing the same. At the option of the manufac- turer, the data can be submitted for check to the actual prospective purchaser without the same leaving the custody of an authorized representative of the manufacturer.

APPENDIX A RECOMMENDED PRACTICE ON THE ERECTION, CARE, AND USE OF

STEEL DERRICKS

Al . Wind Capacity. Steel derricks are designed to withstand safely a minimum actual wind velocity of 54 mph for derricks 136 f t and shorter with pipe setback; 75 mph for 140-, 147-, and 189-ft derricks with pipe setback; and 115 mph for 140-, 147-, and 189-ft derricks without pipe setback, provided they are anchored to suitable foundations. When used under such conditions they do not require guy wires for support.

A2. The strength of the anchorage required to pre- vent overturning must be sufficient to prevent uplift- ing of the derrick legs on the windward side. The uplift values for the wind velocities stated in Par. A l are given in Table A l .

A3. Derrick Foundation Loads. Safe use of the derrick and, consequently, success of drilling and pro- ducing operations depends on whether the derrick foundation is adequate for the loads imposed on it. The design load for derrick foundations is the sum of the weight of the derrick and derrick substructure, the weight of the machinery and other equipment to be supported by the foundation, and the maximum safe working load of the derrick as shown on the derrick name plate.

A4. Soil Conditions. A most importent consideration in the design of a derrick foundation is the character and bearing capacity of the soil on or in which the foundation will be placed. Typical soil bearing values are given in Table A2. There are many kinds and mixtures of soils, and it is not always possible to accurately determine the safe bearing capacity of any given soil by reference to a table. When there is any doubt, actual tests or borings should be made.

A5. Concrete Foundations. The bearing capacity of a soil will vary in proportion to the amount of contained moisture. This fact should be kept in mind when deciding the size of concrete footings neces- sary to meet the particular condition. Excavations for concrete piers must be carried to sufficient depth to obtain a satisfactory and safe footing, and in all cases should extend below the frost line. Where pos- sible, it is desirable that a permanent concrete foot- ing should extend to dry soil or soil that is undis- turbed, and then should be properly back-filled to provide ample surface drainage.

A6. Cement. The cement should be new and free from lumps. It should be rotected, unt. the .time of use, by storing in a s h e f o r by covering with tar- paulins. Cement chouId not be piled on the ground but should be neatly stacked on a platsorm a t least 6 in. from the earth. Cement that has been rained upon or otherwise subjeoted to dampness, or that has hardened or partially set, should not be used.

on the following unit wind loads applied normal to the side of the derrick:

a. For derrick sizes No. 10, 11, 12, 16, 18, and 18A a unit wind load of 11.76 psf on the derrick and pipe setback.

b. For derrick sizes No. 19, 20, and 25 a unit wind load of 52.9 psf on the derrick without pipe setback. The 62.9 psf unit wind load is used because its,overturning effect on the derrick is greater than that for a 22.5 psf wind load on combined derrick and pipe setback areas,

zcol. 2 values x 1.414. aCol. 4 values are assumed values and are applicable to

the bare derrick only. 'The net uplift values given in Col. 5 are obtainable by

subtracting Col. 4 from Col. 3 values.

Al. Aggregate. The aggregate should be clean and free from earth or other foreign matter, and the particles should not be coated with mud, oil, or any other injurious substance. When separated aggre- gates are used, the sand should not be uniform in size of grains, but should contain both fine and coarse par- ticles, the coarse predominating. The stone or gravel sizes should vary from % in. as the smallest, to par- ticles that will pass through a 2-in. circular opening as the largest. Coarse and fine aggregates, except when combined, should be stored in separate piles. AI1 aggregates should be protected from contamination by foreign material. Before using local deposits of either fine or coarse aggregates, or both, adequate tests should be made to determine if such aggregates will produce concrete of the desired strength and durability.

AS. Mixing Water. Mixing water should be free from oil, acid, and injurious amounts i f vegetable matter or salts. In general, if the water is unfit for drinking, it is unfit for concrete.

A9. Proportioning. The proportioning of materials should be based on the requirements for a workable mix containing not more than 7 gal of water per sack of cement (94 lb). In case the sand is very wet, as right after a rain, the water should be reduced to 6 gal per sack of cement. If the sand is unifomly damp, 6% gal of water should be used per sack of cement. A suggested proportion of ingredients is as follows :

1 sack of portland cement 2 CU f t of sand

3% CU f t of gravel or stone

When local deposits of aggregates are used, the proportions of materials should be such as to give a workable mix, containing not more than 7 gal of water per sack of cement, including surface water in the aggregate.

Alo. The concrete should have a compressive strength of not less than 1,000 psi at 7 days and not less than 2,000 psi a t 28 days. The proportions re- quired to fulfill these conditions should be determined by trial mixture method, described in the booklet Design und Control of Concrete Mixtures.* The grading of the fine and coarse aggregates and the proportions of the mix are significant only insofar as they affect the workability and economy of the result- ing mix. So long as the proportion of water and cement is maintained constant and a workable mix is produced, the strength of the concrete is not affected.

A l l . Mixing Concrete. All ingredients should be accurately measured to secure the specified propor- tions in each batch. The stone and sand should be measured separately, and the water should be so measured as to insure the proper quantity in each batch. In case concrete is hand mixed, it should be done in the following manner and order. The meas- ured quantity of sand is to be spread out evenly on the platform. On this is evenly spread the required amount of cement. The cement and sand are then turned over thoroughly with square shovels, enough times t o produce a mass of uniform color. The meas- ured quantity of broken stone or gravel then is spread in a uniform layer on top of the cement-sand mixture, and all the materials again mixed by turn- ing with shovels until the stone has been uniformly distributed throughout the mass. A depression or hollow is then formed in the center o£ the pile and the measured water added slowly while the materials

raw-Hill Bwk Co., Inc., New York, Fifth Edition (1961).

are turned, this turning being continued until the whole mass is in a plastic or pasty jelly-like con- sistency. If a mechanical mixer is used, the measured ingredients should be placed in the mixer and mixed for not less than two minutes.

A12. The mixture should be such as to produce con- crete that can be worked readily into the corners and angles of the forms with ordinary spading. The work- ability can be controlled by adding or deducting sand or stone, but in no case should the amount of stone be such as to produce difficulty in placing, or honey- combing in the structure. Most important of all, the amount of water specified for each sack of cement should in no case be exceeded.

A13. Handling and Placing Concrete. Concrete should be placed in the forms in such a manner as t o prevent the separation or 180ss of ingredients. Each batch as placed should be well spaded into the corners lof the form so as to eliminate air pockets and prevent honeycombing. Concrete should be placed in the forms immediately after being mixed and under no circum- stances should concrete that has partially hardened be deposited in the forms. When the foundation is finished the tops of !he four base plates must be on the same level, +Y, in.

A14. High Early-Strength Concrete. If early use of a foundation is desired, consideration should be given t o those factors which will give high early strength to concrete and which are: (1) further limitation of the mixing water; (2) richer cement mixtures: (3) more thorough mixing; and (4) protection of the con- crete against temperatures below 60 F during its making, placing, and curing.

A15. Derrick Erection. Each and every part of a derrick is intended to carry its share of the load, therefore, any parts which are omitted o r improp- erly placed may contribute t o the failure of the der- rick. It is for this reason that in the erection of steel derricks, so fa r as it can be done safely, bolts and nuts should be tightened only slightly tighter than finger-tight until the erection of the derrick is finished, after which all bolts and nuts should be drawn tight. This permits an even adjustment of all parts which should result in a more nearly perfect distribution of load.

A16. The practice of using bent leg sections, whether it be main derrick legs or reinforcing legs, is dangerous and lonly material that is as straight as manufacturing tolerances allow should be used. A bent leg, girt, or other compression member has practically no strength and frequently actually damages other

members of the structure because it tends to pull them out of line and put iinàue stress upon them. Any part that cannot readily be assembled in place without dis- torting adjacent members of the derrick o r which has been reduced in cross section should be replaced. When assembled, the main derrick legs and reinforc- ing legs should be in perfect alignment throughout their entire length.

A17. The reinforcing legs of a reinforced derrick are for the purpose of increasing the maximum safe load for the derrick leg and are not intended to serve as mere leg stiffeners. It is therefore vitally impor- tant that such reinforcing legs be properly installed SO that each will carry its proportionate share of the der- rick load. Reinforcing legs must have full bearing, both at the top and bottom, and leg clamps should be spaced not more than the distance between girts. Pipe reinforcing legs should nest properly against the heads of bolts used in the main derrick legs and no bolt should be installed with the nut on the inside of the main derrick legs because bolts of unequal length will prevent the proper assembly of the rein- forcing legs. Leg clamps should never be placed mid- way between two girts as this practice will tend to cause the bending of both the main derrick leg and reinforcing leg, thereby reducing the maximum safe load for the derrick. The proper place for a leg clamp is immediately above and close to the girt.

A18. The dead end of the drilling line should be fastened properly to a suitable anchor attached to the derrick corner foundation or other convenient place and in a manner that will not subject the derrick or derrick substructure to loads that may cause their failure. The attaching of the dead line to a derrick girt or brace should not be permitted.

A19. The mud standpipe of a rotary rig should be attached to the derrick leg rather than to the girts, because the derrick leg is better able t o withstand the vibrations of the standpipe than are the girts and braces.

A20. Every care should be taken in the handling of derrick parts when dismantling and moving to a new location. Most of the bending of derrick material is caused by rough and improper handling during transportation and moving of rigs, and the cost of replacing damaged parts is f a r in excess of the cost that would be incurred by more careful and proper handling. The practice of some rig builders of cut- ting out bolts or dropping pieces to the ground when dismantling a derrick is both dangerous to personnel and destructive to material, and should not be per- mitted. Enlarged or distorted bolt holes tend to weaken a derrick just as much as bent members. Derrick members being bound on a truck by use of a chain with the members suppcrted at the ends, and not at the point of binding, should not be per- mitted.

A21. Derrick Inspection. Derricks should be thor- oughly inspected after erection to see that all mem- bers and bolts are in place and that the latter are tight and equipped with suitable lock washers. This inspection should insure that no member has been installed in a manner that will impair the safety of the derrick.

A22. Derrick Loading. Eccentric loading of a der- rick should be avoided if at all practicable. If, be- cause of unequal settling of derrick corners, the cen- ter of the water table when drilling with rotary tools,

does not line up with the center of the well, the con- dition should be corrected by inserting shims at the low corners of the derrick. A crown block should never be shifted off center to correct for derrick mis- alignment unless such movement is small and due care is taken to determine the effect it will have in reducing the safe working load of the derrick. Care- less application of loads may result in a derrick fail- ure, serious injury to the crews, and a loss of time and money.

A23. Derricks have failed because crews thought- lessly subjected them to loads which they were not designed to carry. Citing a particular case, a chain sling was thrown around two adjacent legs of a derrick and an attempt was made to hoist a heavy draw works into position. The operation was stopped before any general damage resulted, but it was necessary to replace one panel of the derrick.

A24. Avoid sudden applications 02 load when pos- sible, because sudden loading results in excessive shock loads which can and do cause the failure of derricks and other equipment. As the inertia of a body or mass has to be overcome before that mass is moved if it is at rest, or stopped if it is in mo- tion, the time of overcoming this inertia becomes a function of the power required. A quick pull or a quick stop might therefore break a line or “pull in” the derrick; whereas, if that pull or stop is made over a longer period of time, the equipment will not suffer. The most effective pull can, of course, be obtained when applied slowly, thus permitting all equipment to work to its fullest capacity.

A25. Girts, braces, and other members should not, under any circumstances, be removed from the der- rick while it is under load. Such practice has resulted in loss of life. The removal of any one or more of these stress-carrying members when a derrick is under load, in addition to reducing the maximum safe load for the derrick, will effect a readjustment of the struc- ture which is quite liable to cause overloading of some other parts. The derrick would thereby be placed in such an unstable and precarious condition that the entire assembly is subject to collapse with attendant danger to life. If necessary to remove a girt or brace to permit equipment to be taken into the derrick, such girt or brace should be replaced and all bolts and nuts properly tightened before a load is again placed on the derrick.

A26. Obviously, the dangerous practice of burning holes with a welding torch in important load-carry- ing members of derricks and derrick substructures for the purpose of attaching turnbuckles or for hanging hand tools in the derrick, should not be permitted under any circumstance. This practice often results in such defects being hidden from view and, to the casual observer, the deficiency in strength as a result of this loss of material is not realized. Citing a particular case, holes were burned in a derrick leg and, on investigation, it was found that the maximum safe load for the derrick was reduced 100,000 lb.

A27. Care of Derricks. The bearing capacity of all soils decreases as the moisture content increases. Therefore, proper drainage should be provided and the foundation inspected after heavy rains to insure that derrick corners have not settled unequally and thereby caused the derrick to be out of plumb.

should also be banked around the base of all founda- tion piers to provide drainage.

A28. The gin pole is a highly stressed member when raising a drilling crown block as a unit, and this part of the derrick should, therefore, be maintained in good condition at all times.

A29. Drilling derricks are subjected to considerable vibration which may occasionally loosen certain bolts and nuts to the extent that the strength of the der- rick is seriously impaired. During drilling operations it is advisable to make frequent inspections of all bolted connections to insure that none has worked loose. These inspections are particularly necessary just prior to making a round trip, setting casing, or otherwise subjecting the derrick to unusually heavy loads.

A30. Drilling derricks which are left over wells as production derricks should be inspected after drilling operations are completed, or prior to their use as production derricks, to insure that there are no

bolts or derrick members missing and that each bolt has a lock washer and is made up tight; also, that no derrick member is impaired to the extent that it weakens the structure. The elevation of derrick cor- ners should also be checked and, if necessary, shinis should be inserted and the corners brought back to their proper level.

A31. Production crews should observe the condi- tion of a derrick before subjecting it t o a heavy load to insure that all bolts and derrick members are in place and made up tight, and that no member is weakened bo such an extent as to impair the strength of the structure as a whole.

A32. Corrosion 2nd Decay. The ill effects of corro- sion on steel are weil known throughout the industry, but frequently the cost of the damage is not realized. Proper protection against these ravaging elements is always a good investment. In coastal or humid areas, the use of hot-dipped galvanized derricks ia good praotice.

APPENDIX B RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR

Foreword Derrick designs are based on the assumption that

the derrick is not guyed, and that a suitable founda- tion having sufficient weight to prevent overturning under prescribed wind loads will be provided. The following recommendations are intended to apply when conditilons prevent the use of suitable founda- tions and it is desired to make use of guylines. These recommendations i.pply only to 122-, 130-, 136-, 140-, and 147-ft derricks (sizes 16, 18, 18A, 19, and 20) .

B1. Guyline Material. Any wire rope, except guy strand, covered by and conforming to API Std 9A: Specification fo r Wire Rope, is recommended for use as derrick guylines.

B2. Number of Guslines. The recommended number of guylines and their points of attachment are given in Table B1.

B3. Guyline Loads. The loads applying t o guylines attached at the girt positions shown in Table B1 have been determined by the following formulas which assume that the guylines make an angle of 45 deg with the horizontal. These loads are shown in Table B2.

B4. Guyline Orientation. Guylines att,ached to in- dividual anchors should be positioned a: 45 deg to the horizonal and 136 deg to the derrick sides. If more than one guyline is attached t o an anchor, the load on the guy which makes an angle with the hori- zontal other than 45 deg, will not be that given in Table B2, but must be determined by taking into ac- count the angle that the guyline makes with the horizontal.

€35. Size of Guylines. The size of guylines should be such that their breaking strengths as given in API SM 9A, are not less than 2% times the guyline load (Table B2). In no case should the guyline be less than 96 in. nominal diameter.

B6. Attachment of Guylines to Derrick. Guylines should be attached to the derrick by means of gusset plates, as illustrated in Fig. B2, or by an equivalent method. B7. Guyline Anchors. Screw-type anchors should

be used in marshy soils, Expanding-type anchors should be used in other soils. The anchor holding capacity for the particular soil condition chguld be at least equal to and should preferably be greater than the breaking strength of the guyline. Since it is impossible to definitely classify soils, a pull test should be made in each field to verify the anchor holding capacity.

B8. Attachment of Guylines to Anchors. Guylines should be attached to anchors as shown in Fig. B2, or by an equivalent method.

B9. Tension in Guylines. Suitable dynamometers for measuring the tension in guylines are available and should be used, since that is the only practical way of insuring equal tensions in the guylines at a particular girt. (See Fig. B1 for illustration of typi- cal attachment of a dynamometer.)

ABNORMAL DRILLING CLAUSES (For possible me in Seetion 14)

. . . "Abnormal Prrsaure, etc"

While operations are being conducted on a footage b u m , ahould loss of circulation, abnormal pressures, salt water flow, domal formation. heaving shale or similar formation. salt, or other condition be encountered which makes drilling abnormally difficult or hazardous, causing drill pipe or casing to stick, m other aimilar difficulty which precludes drilling under normal procedure, Contractor in a11 such cases and without delay, #hill use werg r e w m b l e means to overcome such difficulty. When such condition ia encountered, Contractor ahail immediataly notify Opmator. H Opemîor concurs that such condition exists all operations from the time the condition ia encountered nntil n o d diiuinp is resumed m&U be on a day work basis. If Operator fails to reply to the notification of Contracwr within twenty-foor (U) hours therefrom, i t shall be eonelusively presumed that Operator concurs with Contractor that such condition exists. Ii Operator does not agree that such condition exists, operation shall be continued a t footage rates. Abnormal pressans ahail be preaumed to exist in the event mud weight in excess of -,pounds per gallon is required to control formation pialm.

"Chert, etc."

While operations are being conducted ou a footage basis, should chert, mehist, pyrite, quartzite, or granite be encountered Contractor shall notify Operator's representative of mch conditions. If Operator concurs that such conditions exist and if, solely because of such conditions, by continuous and diligent drilling Contractor fails to drill footage within twenty-four (24) hour period which, when multiplied by the agreed footage rate, does not equal or exceed the applicable day work rate, plus cost of rock bits used during naid period, Operator shall compensate Contractor at the applicable day work rate and reimburse Contractor for the cost of a11 ruck bits used. Continuous and diligent drilling shall mean only time during which the hit is actually being rotated on the bottom and the time cousnmed in making round trips to change bits. It shall not include shut-down time due to repairs to Contractor's equipment. Operator's opinion U. to the geological formations encountered rhdl be conclusive.

. . . "Partial lam of Circulation, etc."

While operations are being conducted on a footcge basis, should partial loss of circulation occur and impede normal drilling progress, Contractor shall immediately report such condition to the designated representative of Operator. If Operator concurs that such condition exists, the drilling operation may be continued at a reduced rate of circulation. If, under such conditions, the footage drilled during each hventy-four (24) bow period multiplied by the footage rate does not equal the applicable day work rate plus the cost of rock bits Operator a h d l wmpen.uk Contractor a t the agreed day work rate and shall reimburse Contractor for the coat of all rock bits used during such period
