    This document demonstrates how to calculate hydrostatic pressure in different oilfield units using various inputs for mud weight and true vertical depth (TVD). The equations relate mud weight or pressure gradient to TVD, with the product given in psi. Examples are provided using mud weight in ppg or lb/ft^3 and TVD in feet or meters to calculate hydrostatic pressures of 800 psi, 12,000 psi, and 12,500 psi.

    Hydrostatic Pressure Calculation

    Hydrostatic pressure is created by fluid column. Two factors affecting hydrostatic


    pressure are mud weight and True Vertical Depth. So this post will demonstrate how to
    calculate hydrostatic pressure in different oilfield units.
    1. Calculate hydrostatic pressure in psi by using mud weight in PPG and feet as the
    units of True Vertical Depth.
    Hydrostatic pressure equation:
    HP = mud weight in ppg !.!"# True Vertical Depth $TVD% in ft
    &ample: mud weight = '#.! ppg
    True Vertical Depth = '!(!!! ft
    HP = '#.! ppg !.!"# '!(!!! ft
    HP = )(#*! psi
    2. Calculate hydrostatic pressure in psi by using pressure gradient in psift and feet
    as the units of True Vertical Depth.
    Hydrostatic pressure equation:
    HP = Pressure gradient in psi+ft True Vertical Depth $TVD% in ft
    &ample: Pressure ,gradient = !." psi+ft
    True Vertical Depth = '!(!!! ft
    HP = !." psi+ft '!(!!! ft
    HP = "(!!! psi
    ! Calculate hydrostatic pressure in psi by using mud weight in lbft
    !
    and feet as the
    units of True Vertical Depth.
    Hydrostatic pressure equation:
    HP = !.!!)-** mud weight( lb+ft
    .
    TVD( ft
    &ample: mud weight = /! lb+ft
    .
    true 0ertical depth = '!(!!! ft
    HP = !.!!)-** /! lb+ft
    .
    '!(!!! ft
    HP = "(""" psi
    ". Calculate hydrostatic pressure in psi by using mud weight in PPG and meters as
    unit of True Vertical Depth.
    Hydrostatic pressure equation:
    HP = mud weight( ppg !.!"# TVD in meters ..#/'
    &ample: 1ud weight = '#.! ppg true 0ertical depth = "!!! meters
    HP = '#.! ppg !.!"# "!!! ..#/'
    HP = '!(#.2 psi
