Swab & Surge Pressure Estimation

This document provides instructions for calculating swab and surge pressures during drilling operations. Swab pressure should be calculated using the open hole inner diameter from surface to bit depth, while surge pressure uses the casing inner diameter from shoe depth to surface. The document includes a table to input various drilling parameters such as drill pipe dimensions, mud properties, hole size, and casing information to calculate the swab, surge pressures, and equivalent mud weights.

SWAB & SURGE PRESSURE ESTIMATION

NOTE: When calculating SWAB Pressure use the open hole ID to surface. When calculating SURGE pressure use casing ID to the shoe. When calculating SWAB pressure, inputs regarding casing ID and depth are not required.

Drill Pipe OD (in) Drill Pipe Length (ft) Hevi-Weight OD (in) Hevi-Weight Length (ft) Upper Collar OD (in) Upper Collar Length (ft) Lower Collar OD (in) Lower Collar Length (ft) Mud Weight (ppg) Yield Point (#/100 sq. ft.) Hole ID (in) Bit Depth (TVD) Pipe Pulling Speed (ft/sec) Casing ID (in) Measured Depth of the Casing Shoe (ft) Vertical Depth of the Casing Shoe (ft) SWAB/SURGE PRESSURE (psi) = EMW DUE TO SWAB PRESSURE (ppg) = EMW DUE TO SURGE PRESSURE (ppg) = #DIV/0! #DIV/0! #DIV/0!
