Number of Sacks of Cement Required for a Given Length of Plug Formula

\( n_s \;=\;  \dfrac{ L_p \cdot C_c \cdot  V  }{ Y  }\)     (Sacks of Cement Required)

\( L_p \;=\;  \dfrac{ n_s \cdot Y  }{ C_c \cdot V  }\)

\( C_c \;=\;  \dfrac{ n_s \cdot Y  }{ L_p \cdot V }\)

\( V \;=\;  \dfrac{ n_s \cdot Y  }{ L_p \cdot C_c  }\)

\( Y \;=\;  \dfrac{ L_p \cdot C_c \cdot V  }{ n_s  }\)

Symbol English Metric
\( n_s \) = Sacks of Cement Required \(dimensionless\) -
\( L_p \) = Plug Length \(ft\) -
\( C_c \) = Casing Capacity \(ft^3\;/\;ft\) -
\( V \) = Excess Volume \(ft^3\) -
\( Y \) = Slurry Yield \(ft^3\;/\;stroke\) -
