Problem 1 • Do Angel first and get circulation rate. • Then calculate the BHP Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering
Angel Minimum velocity • Qmin can be approximated by: • Qmin = Qo + NH • Qo = injection rate (scfm) at zero depth that corresponds to an annular velocity of 3000 ft/min • N = factor dependent on the penetration rate (Appendix C) • H = hole depth, 1000 ft.
