Pipes Functions
Pressure along of the drill string
Surge
Computes surge pressure along the specified well with the specified pipe speed)
Output: Pressure Surge (Pa) vs Depth
Swab
Computes swab pressure along the specified well with the specified pipe speed
Output: Pressure Swab (Pa) vs Depth
Example Pipes:
Equivalent Pressure along the drill string
Swab
Computes swab density along with the specified well with the specified pipe speed
Output: ECD swab (kg/m3) vs Depth
Surge
Computes surge density along with the specified well with the specified pipe speed
Output: ECD surge (kg/m3) vs Depth
ECD and Pressure at a given depth
Surge
Computes surge equivalent circulating density at given depth
Output: ECD surge (kg/m3)
Swab
Computes swab equivalent circulating density at given depth
Output: ECD swab (kg/m3)
Example Pipes:
Maximum running speed
Surge
Computes maximum pipe speed profile on surge along the specified well
Output: Max Surge Speed (m/s) vs Depth

Swab
Computes maximum pipe speed profile on swab along the specified well
Output: Max Swab Speed (m/s) vs Depth
Example Pipes:
Maximum and Minimum trip - ECD
Surge
Computes surge equivalent circulating density in drill string trip
Output: Max and Min Surge ECD (kg/m3) vs Depth
Swab
Computes swab equivalent circulating density in drill string trip
Maximum and Minimum trip - Pressure
Surge
Computes surge pressure in drill string trip
Output: Max and Min Surge Pressure (Pa) vs Depth
Swab
Computes swab pressure in drill string trip
Output: Max and Min Swab Pressure (Pa) vs Depth
