"Ifanyone can give you a direct #### answer to this question then I can assure youthey are wrong. On most rigs using 1-1/2" or 1-5/8" drill line thestandard is going to be between 2700 and 3000 Ton miles. This is when allcalculations are…"

"It will depend on the type and size of the drill line cable, and your question is answered by API RP 9B. However, the simplified answer for generic drill line can be found in the table at the page F24 in the "Green Book" - Drilling Data…"
