Annular velocity for a given pump output

Input(s)

Op\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{p}}: Pump Output (bbl/min)

dh\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{h}}: Inner Diameter of Casing (in.)

dp\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{p}}: Outer Diameter of Casing (in.)

Output(s)

AV: Annular Velocity (bbl/min)

Formula(s)

AV=Op1029.4 dh2dp2\mathrm{AV}=\frac{\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{p}} * 1029.4}{\mathrm{~d}_{\mathrm{h}}^{2}-\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{p}}^{2}}
