Pore-pressure gradient - Rehm and McClendon

Input(s)

dcnd_{c n}: Normal dc (Modified Bit-Weight exponent in Bingham equation) exponent (dimensionless)

dcod_{c o}: Observed dc (Modified Bit-Weight exponent in Bingham equation) exponent (dimensionless)

Output(s)

gpg_{p}: Pore Pressure Gradient (psi/ft)(\mathrm{psi} / \mathrm{ft})

Formula(s)

gp=(0.398log(dcndco))+0.86g_{p}=\left(0.398 \log \left(d_{c n}-d_{c o}\right)\right)+0.86
