1. Drilling Engineering
PE 311
2. When attempting to quantify the pressure losses in side the drillstring and in the annulus it is worth considering the following matrix:
3. Assumptions:
The drillstring is placed concentrically in the casing or open hole
The drillstring is not being rotated
Sections of open hole are circular in shape and of known diameter
Incompressible drilling fluid
Isothermal flow
Momentum equation:
