Formulas and Calculations for Drilling, Production, and Workover: All the Formulas You Need to Solve Drilling and Production Problems, Third Edition, provides a convenient source of reference for oil field workers who do not use formulas and calculations on a regular basis. This book is still intended for the entirety of their careers. It also aims to help reduce the volume of materials they must carry to the rig floor or job site. Starting with review of basic equations and basic calculations, the remaining chapters offer in-depth discussions of topics such as drilling fluids, pressure control, engineering calculations, and air and gas calculations. The formulas and calculations are provided in either English field units or in metric units. This edition includes the Volumetric Procedure, the Lubricate and Bleed Procedure (both Volume and Pressure Methods), and stripping procedures (both the Strip and Bleed Procedure and the Combined Stripping and Volumetric Procedure). The Table of Contents and the Index make looking up formulas and calculations quick and easy. Examples are used throughout to make the formulas as easy as possible to understand and work, and often exact words are used rather than symbols.

Back-of-the envelope calculations that save time and money
Easily evaluate the performance of your well
Confidently design or redesign operations that will improve production
Handle special production projects with ease

Publisher Summary

This chapter introduces the concept of density in oil field terminology, which refers to specific weight. Specific weight is in the units of lb/ft3 or lb/gallon (ppg). This chapter refers to the specific weight as mud weight. Density is used only when referring to the SI-metric values of kg/m3, kg/liter, and gram/cm3 (which are actual density values in that unit system) and for the term ECD. This chapter describes the mud weight, and specific gravity in USCS/British units and SI units. Following this, it provides an understanding of hydrostatic pressure using formulae and equations. It also explains pressure gradient in USCS/British units and SI units. Furthermore, it explains some capacity formulas for annular capacity between casing or hole and drill pipe, tubing, or casing. Finally, it illustrates some temperature and conversion formulas.
