This is the electronic version of the Halliburton Red Book  (eRedBook) which it can be used electronically with your computers or your smart phone.

Halliburton-e-redbook

PC Version eRedbook

The software consists of a lot of useful calculators (such as cement calculation), Interactive wellbore schematics, and data from the American Petroleum Institute (API). I am really love with this program because it makes my life a lot easier when I work in the office or in the field.

First of all, you need to download the set up file from this link => https://www.halliburton.com/content/dam/ps/public/cem/contents/Interactive_Tools/web/eredbook/setup.exe

You will get the set up file like this => Halliburton red book electronic version

Volumetric Well Control – When It Will Be Used

Volumetric well control method is a special well control method which will be used when the normal circulation cannot be done. It is not a kill method but it the method to control bottom hole pressure and allow influx to migrate without causing any damage to the well.

volumetric

There are several situations where you cannot circulate the well as follows:

• Pumps broken down

• Plugged drill string/bit

• Drill string above the kick

• Drill string is out of the hole completely

With the volumetric method, the volume of gas influx will allow migrating and casing pressure will increase till a certain figure then a specific amount of mud will bleed off to compensate the increase in casing pressure. The volumetric method will allow the kick to surface while the bottom hole pressure is almost constant. Successful use of volumetric method requires personnel understand three basic concepts – Continue reading

Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) Using Yield Point for MW More than 13 ppg

Another equation to determine equivalent circulating density is to use yield point.

This formula below is used to calculate the ECD and it is good for mud weight more than to 13.0 ppg

Where:

ECD is equivalent circulating density in ppg.

MW is mud weight in ppg.

Hold ID is inside diameter of hole in inch.

Pipe OD is outside diameter of pipe in inch.

YP is mud yield point.

YP can be calculated by these following equations.

YP = Reading at 300 rpm – PV

PV = Reading at 600 rpm – Reading at 300 rpm

AV is annular velocity in ft/min

AV can be determined by the following equation.

AV in ft/min = (24.5 x Q) ÷ (Dh2 – Dp2)

where

Q = flow rate in gpm

Dh = inside diameter of casing or hole size in inch

Dp = outside diameter of drill pipe, drill collars, or tubing in inch
