    Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a static column of fluid due to its density, which depends on the fluid's density and true vertical depth. The formula to calculate hydrostatic pressure in psi is 0.052 multiplied by the mud density in pounds per gallon multiplied by the true vertical depth in feet. For example, with a mud weight of 11.5 pounds per gallon and a true vertical depth of 11,000 feet, the hydrostatic pressure is calculated to be 6,578 psi.

    HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

    Pressure exerted by a static column of fluid by virtue of its density. It


    depends on the Density & True Vertical Depth (TVD) of the fluid
    column. Its unit is psi or kg/cm2 .

    Hydrostatic Pressure(psi) =0.052 x Mud density (ppg)  TVD(ft)

    Exercise:
    Mud weight = 11.5 ppg , TVD = 11000 ft Find Hydrostatic
    Pressure.
    Hydrostatic Pressure = 0.052 X 11.5 X 11000
    = 6578 psi
