Height of cement in the annulus
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Slurry Volume \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}\): Casing Capacity \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{ft}\right)\)
AC: Cement Remaining in Casing \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
E: Excess Volume (fraction)
Output(s)
H: Height of Cement in Annulus (ft)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{H}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}-\mathrm{AC}+\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{E}}
\]
