Subsea considerations - Casing burst pressure-subsea stack

Input(s)

YP: Internal Yield Pressure (psi)

SF: Safety Factor (fraction)

WuW_{u}: Mud Weight in use (ppg)

H\mathrm{H}: Depth from Rotary Kelly Bushing to Mudline (ft)

HsH_{s}: Depth of Seawater (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

WsW_{s}: Seawater Weight (ppg)(\mathrm{ppg})

Output(s)

YPcY P_{c}: Corrected Internal Yield Pressure (psi)

HP: Hydrostatic Pressure of Mud in Use (psi)

HPswH P_{s w}: Hydrostatic Pressure exerted by sea water (psi)

CBP: Casing Burst Pressure (psi)

Formula(s)

YPc=YPSFHP=Wu0.052HHPsw=Hs0.052WsCBP=YPcHP+(HPsw)\begin{gathered} Y P_{c}=Y P * S F \\ H P=W_{u} * 0.052 * H \\ H P_{s w}=H_{s} * 0.052 * W_{s} \\ \mathrm{CBP}=Y P_{c}-H P+\left(H P_{s w}\right) \end{gathered}
