Amount of mud required to displace cement in drillpipe
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{d}}\): Length of Drillpipe ( \(\mathrm{ft}\) )
\(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}\): Drill Pipe Capacity \((\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})\)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}\): Amount of Mud Required (bbl)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{d}} * \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}
\]
