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)

PO: Pump Output (bbl/stroke)

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)
