Average wellbore fluid density (completion and workover fluids)

Input(s)

ρm\rho_{m}: Measured Ambient (or Surface) Fluid Density (lbm/bbl)

Δρi\Delta \rho_{i}: Incremental Wellbore Fluid Density Change (lbm/bbl)(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})

nn : Number of Linear Depth intervals (dimensionless)

Output(s)

ρˉ\bar{\rho}: Average Wellbore Fluid Density (lbm/bbl)(\mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{bbl})

Formula(s)

ρˉ=ρm[i=1n(Δρi)n1]\bar{\rho}=\rho_{m}-\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\left(\Delta \rho_{i}\right)}{n}-1\right]
