Maximum Allowable Mud Weight
Maximum Allowable Mud Weight formula |

|
\( MW_m \;=\; (p_l \;/\; 0.052 \; TVD) \; MW \) (Maximum Allowable Mud Weight) \( p_l \;=\; MW_m \; 0.052 \; TVD \;/\; MW \) \( TVD \;=\; p_l \; MW \;/\; MW_m \; 0.052 \) \( MW \;=\; MW_m \; 0.052 \; TVD \;/\; p_l \) |

| \( MW_m \) = maximum allowable mud weight (ppg) | \(lbm \;/\; gal\) | - |
| \( MW \) = mud weight (ppg) | \(lbm \;/\; gal\) | - |
| \( TVD \) = true vertical depth of casing shoe | \(ft\) | - |
| \( p_l \) = leak-off pressure (psi) | \(lbf \;/\; in^2\) | - |
