Drillstring Toolbox vs Wait and Weight Worksheets

Drillstring Toolbox is a free calculator from Standard DS-1 that gives you the drill-stem load capacities you need! You can choose an API connection (along with the size you're interested in) to find its recommended makeup torque and tensile capacity. Tap the "Tube" tab to find the tensile and torsion capacities for drill pipe tubes as well!

This app utilizes standardized Worksheets based on the Wait and Weight method for well control operations following a kick. It supports both floating rigs with subsea stacks and surface stack operations. Designed for field applications and instructional use, it helps engineers and rig teams deepen their understanding of the Wait and Weight method. Key Features & Integration * Fully compatible with field workflows and training scenarios. * Seamlessly import data files to populate kill sheets directly from our suite of well control apps: Drilling Hydraulics, Drilling Simulator 1, 2 & 3, Kick Game, Kick Tolerance, LOT Simulator, MPD Simulator, Well Control Methods, and Well Control Simulator 1 & 2.
 Our Mission Developed alongside industry experts using established spreadsheets, this app provides an accessible, cost-effective tool for drilling engineers, toolpushers, drillers, technicians, students, and instructors. It is designed as a practical field utility and learning companion, not a replacement for full-scale commercial engineering software. Feedback & Community We continuously improve our tools. Feel free to share feedback, report bugs, suggest translation refinements, or share this app with your colleagues.
