Entrance hole size (perforation)

Input(s)

σy\sigma_{y}: Yield Strength of Casing of Interest (ksi)

σyr\sigma_{y r}: Yield Strength of Reference Casing (ksi)

drd_{r} : Entrance Hole Diameter in Reference Casing (in.)

Output(s)

d: Entrance Hole Diameter in Casing of Interest (in.)

Formula(s)

d=(σyrσy)0.5drd=\left(\frac{\sigma_{y r}}{\sigma_{y}}\right)^{0.5} d_{r}
