    Very few operators use psi/ft to express pressure gradients. It is easier to deal with gradients expressed as equivalent mud weights in pounds per gallon (ppg), specific gravity (sg), or psi per thousand feet (pptf), which is psi/ft multiplied by 1000. Calculating pressures and gradients is common in well design and construction work, and converting between units of equivalent mud weight, pressure, and gradients uses basic equations multiplying the mud weight, depth, and conversion factors.

    Equivalent mud weight

    Very few operators use psi/ft to express pressure gradients. It is easier to deal with gradients expressed
    as equivalent mud weights. Pounds per gallon (ppg), specific gravity (sg), psi per thousand feet (pptf) are
    the most common. Shell are particularly keen on pptf, which is basically psi/ft multiplied by 1000.
    Calculating pressures and gradients is a frequent task in ADT work and the ability to work in the various
    units involved is rapidly acquired. The basic equations are as follows: To convert a mud weight to a
    pressure in psi : ppg x 0.0519 x TVDft sg x 1.421 x TVDm To convert a pressure to a mud weight (EMW)
    psi / TVDft / 0.052 psi / TVDm / 1.421 To convert a EMW to a gradient : ppg x .052 sg x 1.421
