Primary well control calculations.


Gradient ( Psi /ft.)
= Mud weight (PPG) x 0.052
Mud weight ( PPG)
= Mud Gradient ( Psi/ft ) / 0.052
Formation pressure ( Psi )
= Mud gradient ( Psi/ft ) x TVD of drillstring ( Psi ) + SIDPP ( Psi )
Equivalent Mud weight EMW ( PPG )
= Bottom hole pressure ( Psi ) / 0.052 / TVD (ft )
Equivalent circulating density, ECD, ( PPG )
= Mud wt in use (PPG) + Annular pressure loss ( Psi ) / TVD / 0.052
Trip Margin / Safety factor ( PPG)
= Kill weight mud ( PPG ) + [ Safety factor ( Psi ) / 0.052 / TVD ( Ft ) ]
Maximum Allowable Annular Surface Pressure. [ MAASP ( Psi.) ]
= [ Form grad at shoe ( PPG) - mud gradient (PPG) ] x 0.052 x Csg shoe TVD (Ft)
Maximum allowable mud weight (PPG)
= Test mud weight (PPG) + [Leak off press (Psi) /0.052/Casing TVD (Ft )]
Pressure drop per (Ft) tripping dry pipe ( Psi)
= Mud grad (Psi/ft) x Metal Displ ( Bbls/ft) / Casing Capacity ( Bbls/ft) - Metal Displ ( Bbls/ft)

Pressure drop per (Ft) tripping wet pipe.


=
Mud grad (Psi/ft) x [Metal displ (Bbls/ft) + DP capacity ( Bbls/ft)]
Casing capacity ( Bbls/ft ) - [Metal Displ ( Bbls/ft) / DP Capacity (Bbls/ft)]
Kick tolerance (PPG)
= [MAASP ( Psi) - Mud wt (PPG) x 0.052 x Height of Influx (Ft)] / TVD (Ft) /0.052

Circulation pressures.

Pump pressure / Pump strokes relationship ( Psi )


= Present pressure ( Psi) x [New SPM / Old SPM ] 2

Pump output ( Bbls/min.)


= Pump liner capacity ( Bbls/Stroke) x Pump speed ( SPM )

Annular velocity ( Ft/min.)


= Pump output ( Bbls/min) / Annular Volume ( Bbls/ft.)

Secondary well control calculations.

Formation pore pressure.


= Mud gradient ( Psi/ft ) x TVD of the well ( Ft ) + SIDPP ( Psi )
Kill weight Mud ( PPG)
= Original mud weight (PPG) + [ SIDPP ( Psi) / TVD ( Ft ) of the well / 0.052 ]
Initial circulating pressure ( Psi )
= Selected slow pump presure ( Psi) + SIDPP ( Psi)
Height of influx ( Ft )
= Pit gain ( Bbls) / Drill collar / open hole volume ( Bbls/ft.)
Gradient of influx ( Psi/ft.)
= Mud gradient ( Psi/ft) - [ ( SICP-SIDPP) / influx height ( Ft )]
Migration ( percolation ) rate ( Ft/hr)
= Pressure increase per hour ( Psi/hr) / Mud gradient ( Psi/ft )
New MAASP ( Psi)
= [ Max allowable mud wt (PPG) - mud wt (PPG)] x 0.052 x Casing TVD (Ft)
Barite required to raise mud weight ( Lbs/bbl.)
= [1500 x ( Kill mud wt (PPG) - Old mud wt (PPG)] / [ 35.8 - Kill weight mud (PPG)]
Shut in casing pressure ( Psi)
= Mud gradient (Psi/ft) - [Influx grad ( Psi/ft) x Height of Influx (Ft)] + SIDPP
or
= Formation pressure (Psi) - [Mud grad x height + Influx grad x Influx height ]
Where Gradients = Psi/ft , Heights = (Ft).
