Pipes Functions

Pressure along of the drill string

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

Surge and Swab ECD along of 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

Max trip velocity vs Depth

Surge

Computes maximum pipe speed profile on surge along the specified well

Output: Max Surge Speed (m/s) vs Depth
