Amount of Mud Required to Displace Cement in Drill Pipe Formula |
||
|
\( M \;=\; DP_l \cdot DP_c \) (Amount of Mud Required to Displace Cement in Drill Pipe) \( DP_l \;=\; \dfrac{ M }{ DP_c }\) \( DP_c \;=\; \dfrac{ M }{ DP_l }\) |

| \( M \) = Amount of Mud Required | \(bbl\) | - |
| \( DP_l \) = Drill Pipe Length | \(ft\) | - |
| \( DP_c \) = Drill Pipe Capacity | \(bbl\;/\;ft\) | - |
The amount of mud required to displace cement in a drill pipe depends on the internal volume of the drill pipe and the length of the pipe to be displaced.
