Amount of mud required to displace cement in drillpipe

Input(s)

$\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{d}}$: Length of Drillpipe ( $\mathrm{ft}$ )

$\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}$: Drill Pipe Capacity $(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})$

Output(s)

$\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}$: Amount of Mud Required (bbl)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{d}} * \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}} $$
