Calculate Annular Velocity



Formula

To calculate the Annular Velocity (AV):

\[ AV = PO \cdot AC \]

What is Annular Velocity?

Annular velocity measures the linear rate of fluid (typically oil) moving through an annular drilling setup. It is a critical parameter in drilling operations to ensure efficient and safe fluid circulation.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ AV = 5 \cdot 0.1 = 0.5 \text{ ft/min} \]

The Annular Velocity is 0.5 ft/min.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ AV = 10 \cdot 0.2 = 2 \text{ ft/min} \]

The Annular Velocity is 2 ft/min.
