Basic Drilling Engineering Equations

1) This document provides basic drilling engineering equations over two pages, including equations for calculating pump capacity, nozzle velocity, pipe capacities, pressure losses, torque, power requirements, drilling fluid properties, and more. 2) Key equations calculate pump rate based on pump type, hydrostatic pressure as a function of depth and mud weight, annular velocity, Reynolds number, drilling fluid rheology models, equivalent circulating density, and standpipe pressure. 3) Common abbreviations used in drilling equations are defined, such as API, bbls, BHP, ECD, EMW, HP, and others.
