Effective weight during drilling

Input(s)

ws\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{s}}: Weight of Drillstring Material (lbs)

ρo\rho_{\mathrm{o}}: Density of Mud (ppg)

ρs\rho_{\mathrm{s}}: Density of Drillstring Material (ppg)

Output(s)

wo\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{o}}: Effective Weight (lbs)

Formula(s)

wo=ws(1(ρoρs))\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{o}}=\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{s}} *\left(1-\left(\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{o}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{s}}}\right)\right)
