Mud weight reduction by dilution - Water/diesel/any liquid
Input(s)
\(W_{2}\): Required mud density \((\mathrm{ppg})\)
\(W_{1}\): Initial Mud density (ppg)
\(V_{m}\): Initial Mud Volume (bbl)
\(D_{w}\): Water/Diesel density (ppg)
Output(s)
\(V_{r}\): Required Volume of water/diesel/any liq (bbl)
Formula(s)
\[
V_{r}=V_{m} * \frac{W_{1}-W_{2}}{W_{2}-D_{w}}
\]
