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

| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( M \) = Amount of Mud Required | \(bbl\) | - |
| \( DP_l \) = Drill Pipe Length | \(ft\) | - |
| \( DP_c \) = Drill Pipe Capacity | \(bbl\;/\;ft\) | - |
