SECTION 1 Notes:
OD Drill String (in) 6 1. This is an empirical model for a vertical well. Results should be
ID Hole / Casing (in) 8 adjusted and compared with field experience
Annular Velocity (ft/min) #VALUE! 2. The Slip Velocity should be less than Half the Annular velocity
Critical Velocity Ann (ft/min) #VALUE! i.e. the ratio : Slip Velocity / Ann Velocity should be less than 0.5
Flow Type #VALUE! 3. Pipe Rotation will allow the fluid to be in TURBULENT Flow
Effective Viscosity #VALUE!
