Injection pressure for hydraulic fracturing

Input(s)

PFP_{F}: Downhole Fracturing Operation Pressure (psi)

ΔPf\Delta P_{f}: Pressure Loss Sourced by Friction (psi)

ΔPp\Delta P_{p}: Pressure Loss sourced by Perforations (psi)

ΔPh\Delta P_{h}: Hydrostatic Pressure Change (psi)

Output(s)

Pinj: P_{\text {inj: }} Injection Pressure (psi)

Formula(s)

Pinj=PF+ΔPf+ΔPpΔPhP_{i n j}=P_{F}+\Delta P_{f}+\Delta P_{p}-\Delta P_{h}
