Bottomhole pressure in a static geothermal well

Input(s)

$\rho$: Density $\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)$

D: Vertical Depth (ft)

$g$: Acceleration of Gravity $\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

$g_{c}$: Units Conversion Factor $\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

Output(s)

$\frac{d p}{d D}$: Bottomhole Pressure in a Static Well $(\mathrm{psi} / \mathrm{ft})$

Formula(s)

$$ \frac{\mathrm{dp}}{\mathrm{dD}}=\frac{\rho}{144} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{c}}} $$
