Depth of a washout - Method 2

Input(s)

Ns\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{s}}: Number of Strokes Required (unitless)

Po\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{o}}: Pump Output per Stroke (bbl/stroke)

Cp\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}: Drillpipe Capacity (bbl/ft)(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})

Ca\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{a}}: Annular Capacity (bbl/ft)

Output(s)

DwD_{w}: Depth of Washout ( ftf t )

Formula(s)

Dw=NsPoCp+Ca\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{w}}=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{s}} * \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}+\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{a}}}
