Fluid Pumping Calculations Hydrostatic Pressure Measured Depth – Displacement Calculations Total Vertical Depth – Hydrostatic Calculations PHydrostatic = TVD * DensityFluid * .052 Ex. – 5500 ft * 8.33 lb/gal * .052 gal/ft-in2 = 2382 lbs/in2 Problem Packer Depth MD = 8500 ft ; TVD = 7200 ft Tubing I.D. = 2.041 in Tubing Fluid Density = 8.33 lb/gal Annular Fluid Density = 9.5 lb/gal Calculate Tubing volume Calculate Hydrostatic difference between Tubing and Annulus Solution Tubing Volume Bbls / Ft = D2 x 0.0009714 2.0412 * .0009714 = .004 bbl/ft .004 bbl/ft * 8500 ft = 34 bbls Hydrostatic Difference Tubing = 8.33 * 7200 * .052 = 3119 psi Annulus = 9.5 * 7200 * .052 = 3557 psi 438 psi Heavy on Annulus Fluid Systems Units Chemical concentrations based on clean volume and clean rate. Liquids: Gallons / 1000 gallons (gptg l/m3) no conversion required Dry additives: Pounds / 1000 gallons (pptg kg/m3) Pptg X 0.1198126 = kg/m3 Pptg X 0.0001198126 X mls of sample = grams of material to add Salts are a % by weight of the mixing water. Water weighs 8.33 lbs/gal. 2% KCL = .02 * 8.33 lbs/gal = .167 lbs of KCl for every gallon H2O 7% KCL = .07 * 8.33 lbs/gal = .583 lbs of KCl for every gallon H2O Additive Volumes Calculate the volume of Gel concentrate needed to build 500 bbls of 30 pptg gel. Lab tests indicate Gel concentration is approximately 3.2 lbs/gal. Calculate volume of XL-1 needed in chemical tank to pump 8000 gallons of slurry (7400 gallons clean volume). Set point is 2 gptg and chemical tank bottoms are roughly 2 ? gallons. Additive Volumes Solutions 30 gal/1000 gallons = 9.375 lbs/1000 gallons brine 3.2 lbs/gal 9.375 lbs/1000 gallons * 21000 gallons = 197 gallons 2 gal/1000 gallons * 7400 gallons = 14.8 gallons 14.8 + 2.5 = 17.3 gallons Brine Mixing Mixing with Sack KCl Need 3% Solution on location DensityWater* V
