Mud Hydraulics

Units
Where: Pa = Pp = Ph = TVD = Annular Pressure Drop (lbs/in2) Pipe Pressure Drop (lbs/in2) Hydrostatic Pressure (lbs/in2) Total Vertical Depth (ft) Dh Dp Di = Casing/Hole Inside Diameter (in) = Pipe Outside Diameter (in) = Pipe Inside Diameter (in)

Hydrostatic Pressure (psi) Ph = (.052)(MW)(TVD)

Drill Stem Bore Pressure Losses (psi) Pp = 6.1 x 10-5 (TVD)(MW)(Q1.86) Di4.86

Pressure Gradient (psi/ft) PG = (.052)(MW)

Plastic Viscosity (cp) PV = Fann 600 - Fann 300

Equivalent Circulating Density (ppg) ECD = Pa(psi) + MW (.052)(TVD)

Yield Point YP = Fann 300 - PV

Annular Mud Velocity (ft/min) Av = (24.51)(Q) 2 2 (Dh - Dp )

Specic Gravity using MW ppg Sg = MW 8.33

Annular Pressure Losses (psi) Pa = 1.4327 x 10-7 (TVD)(MW)(Av) (Dh - Dp )

Capacity between Casing, Hole and Drill Pipe Ac, bbl/ft =


2 2 Dh - Dp 1029.4 Ac, ft/bbl = 2 2 1029.4 Dh - Dp
