2. ASSUMPTIONS
All wells are assumed to be vertical Fluids density is assumed to be remain constant regardless of pressure and temperature changes
3. EXERCISES
1. Calculate the hydrostatic pressure that results of a 10 000 column of water (density = 8.34 ppg) 2. What is the mud density necessary to create a hydrostatic pressure of 4992psi in an 8 000 well? 3. A well has been displaced from 5 000 to surface with a kill mud weight of 15ppg. If the rest of the well (total depth = 11 000) is filled with a mud density of 12ppg, calculate the bottom hole equivalent mud weight.
4. A well with a mud density of 12ppg is being used in a well whose bottom hole equivalent mud weight is 14ppg. The well depth is 15 000 and the bit (point from where a kill mud weight can be pumped from) if at 8 000. Calculate the kill mud weight necessary to balance the bottom hole EMW.

6. An influx was taken in a well with the following conditions: Well Depth = 20 000 Mud Density = 15ppg Determine the Shut-in Pressure gas gradient is 0.1 psi/ft, the influx height is 1 103 and the bottom hole equivalent mud weight is 14.5 ppg 7. Calculate the equivalent pore pressure in ppg (bottom hole equivalent mud weight) in a well that has been shut-in after an influx has entered the wellbore with the following information: Well Depth = 10 000 Mud Density = 12ppg Shut-in Pressure = 1175psi Influx Height = 1 250 Gas gradient = 0.1 psi/ft
8. In a 20 000 well, the target ECD being kept while drilling is 16.5ppg. If the mud density used is 16.0ppg and annular friction losses are 420psi, determine: a. If it is necessary to apply backpressure while drilling, and, if the answer is yes, determine its value. b. If it is necessary to apply backpressure during connections (static periods), and, if the answer is yes, determine its value.
9. In a 7 500 well, the target ECD being kept while drilling is 15.5ppg. If the mud density used is 15.0ppg and annular friction losses are 300psi, determine: a. If it is necessary to apply backpressure while drilling, and, if the answer is yes, determine its value. b. If it is necessary to apply backpressure during connections (static periods), and, if the answer is yes, determine its value.

11. Determine the length of a pipe with an ID = 4.276 that could be filled with 17.76bbl of a mud.
12. Calculate how many barrels of a fluid are needed in order to fill up 210 of a pipe with an ID = 3.5
13. How many barrels will be necessary to fill up the annular space between a casing with an ID = 8.366 and a pipe with an OD = 5 if the well depth is 5 034?
14. A cased well (depth = 20 000) well with a casing ID = 8.336 and a pipe string composed entirely of 3.5 DP (ID = 3.111) has been entirely displaced with a new mud. Determine the volume of mud necessary for this operation (remember that both the drill string and the annulus are filled up with this fluid)
15. A total of 988 of a 5 DP (ID = 4.276) has been run in a well closed-ended. Determine: a. The theoretical volume the pipe should have displaced based on the above information b. If 27.5bbl of added volume were measured at surface, can you conclude that there is a potential influx in the well? Why?
16. After POOH 488 of a 5 pipe (ID = 4.67) with an open end, 3bbl of mud were necessary to fill up the well. Determine if based on this volume there may be an influx in the well. If the answer is yes, explain why.
