Question

• Example 5: Compute the minimum required pressure rating for a BOP used to drill a 9,000ft vertical well where the pore pressure gradient is $0.64 \frac{psi}{ft}$ if: a. Formation fluid is gas, $\rho_g = 2 \text{ ppg}$ b. Formation fluid is oil, $\rho_{oil} = 7 \text{ ppg}$ What conclusion(s) do you make?

Compute the minimum required pressure rating for a BOP used to drill a 9,000ft vertical well where the pore pressure gradient is 0.64(psi )/(ft) if: a. Formation fluid is gas, ho _(g)=2ppg b. Formation fluid is oil, ho _(oil )=7ppg What conclusion(s) do you make? Example 5: Compute the minimum required pressure rating for a BOP used to drill a 9,000ft vertical well ft a. Formation fluid is gas, Pg = 2 ppg b. Formation fluid is oil, Poi = 7 pp9
