Calculations for the number of feet to be cemented
Input(s)
H: Hole Size (in.)
OD: Outer Diameter (in.)
ID: Inner Diameter (in.)
\(\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Number of Sacks of Cement to be Used (sacks)
\(\mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Slurry Yield \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{stroke}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{c}}\): Feet of Casing \((\mathrm{ft})\)
\(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{sd}}\): Setting Depth of Cementing Tool or Feet of Drill Pipe (ft)
DC: Drill Pipe Capacity (bbl/stroke)
E: Original+extra Volume Req in Percentage (fraction)

Output(s)
AC: Annular Capacity \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{ft}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{CC} * *\): Casing Capacity \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{ft}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}\): Casing Capacity \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Volume of Slurry \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{a}}\): Height of Cement in Annulus (ft)
\(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{tc}}\): Depth of Top of Cement in Annulus \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} /\right.\) stroke \()\)
\(\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{m}}\): Number of Barrels of Mud Required to Displace the Cement (bbl)
S: Number of Strokes Required to Displace the Cement (Strokes)
