Term
Hydrostatic Pressure
Definition
HSP = Mud Density (ppg) x .052 x TVD (ft)
Term
Pressure Gradient
Definition
Mud Gradient (psi/ft) = Mud Density (ppg) x .052

Formation Fracture Gradient psi/ft = Maximum Allowable Mud Density (ppg) x 0.052

Influx Gradient (psi/ft) = Mud gradient (psi/ft) (SICP - SIDPP) / True vertical influx height (ft)
Term
Mud Density
Definition
Mud Density ppg = Pressure psi/.052/TVD ft

Mud Density ppg = Pressure Gradient psi/ft / .052

Kill Mud Density ppg = SIDPP / .052 / TVD ft = OMD ppg
Term
True Vertical Depth
Definition
TVD ft = HSP psi / .052 / Mud Density

Influx length in hole ft = Pit Gain bbl / Annular Capacity
Term
Maximum Allowable Mud Density & Equivalent Circulating Density
Definition
Leak off pressure psi / .052/ TVD of shoe ft + Test Fluid Density ppg

MAMD ppg = Total Pressures @ Shoe psi / .052 / TVD of Shoe ft

ECD ppg = Annular Pressure Loss psi / .052 / Hole TVD ft = OMD ppg
Term
Maximum allowable Annular Surface Pressure
Definition
Before Kill
MAASP psi = (MAMD ppg - Current Density ppg) x .052 x Shoe TVD ft

After Kill
MAASP psi = (MAMD ppg - Current Density ppg) x .052 x Shoe TVD ft
Term
Formation Pressure
Definition
Formation Pressure psi = HSP psi + SIDPP psi
