Stripping/snubbing calculations - Height gain and casing pressure from stripping into influx

Input(s)

CdpC_{d p}: Capacity of Drill Pipe or tubing (bbl/ft)(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})

DdpD_{d p}: Displacement of Drill Pipe,Drill Collar or tubing (bbl/ft)(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})

CaC_{a}: Annular Capacity (bbl/ft)(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})

L: Length of Drill Pipe Stripped (ft)

G\mathrm{G}: Gradient of Mud (psi/ft)

GiG_{i}: Gradient of Influx (psi/ft)

Output(s)

H\mathrm{H}: Height gain from stripping into influx (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

P: Casing Pressure increase from stripping into influx (psi)

Formula(s)

H=LCdp+DdpCaP=H(GGi)\begin{aligned} & H=L * \frac{C_{d p}+D_{d p}}{C_{a}} \\ & P=H *\left(G-G_{i}\right) \end{aligned}
