PRESSURE LOSSES FOR 5 DP
Pressure losses
5 main sources of pressure losses downhole
1. Pressure loss in the drill pipe
2. Pressure loss in the drill collar
3. Pressure loss in the nozzle bits
4. Pressure loss in the DC/Hole annulus
5. Pressure loss in the DP/Hole annulus
6. Pressure losses in the surface equipment
