| Fluid density | 1,200 kg/m³ |
|---|---|
| Vertical depth | 2,400 m |
| Formula | P = ρ × g × TVD |
Assumes a uniform static fluid column and standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). Does not include friction, dynamic effects, or other corrections.
Use these preliminary engineering calculators with explicit units, visible formulas, and input checks.

P = ρ × g × TVD
ρ in kg/m³, g = 9.80665 m/s², TVD in metres; result in pascals. Assumes a static, uniform fluid column.
Vann = 24.51 × Q / (Dh² − Dp²)
Q in US gpm and diameters in inches; result in ft/min. Uses concentric circular geometry and average velocity.
ECD = MW + ΔPann / (0.052 × TVD)
MW in ppg, annular pressure loss in psi, TVD in ft; result in ppg. The friction pressure loss must be independently established.
N = 7758 × A × h × φ × (1 − Sw) / Bo
A in acres, net pay in ft, porosity and saturation as fractions, Bo in rb/STB; result in STB.
J = qo / (Pr − Pwf)
Oil rate in STB/day and pressures in psi; result in STB/day/psi. Assumes a representative single-point operating condition.
Water cut = qw / (qo + qw) × 100%; GOR = qg / qo
Rates must share the same reporting period; GOR here is scf/STB using gas and oil rates at consistent standard conditions.
Sw = [(a × Rw) / (φᵐ × Rt)]^(1/n)
Porosity as a fraction; Rw and Rt in consistent resistivity units. Archie assumptions are most suitable for clean formations with limited clay conductivity.
ΔP = f × (L/D) × ρ × v² / 2
Use the Darcy friction factor, consistent SI units, and a suitable factor for the flow regime. The tool excludes fittings and local losses.
°API = 141.5 / SG(60°F) − 131.5
Specific gravity is referenced to water at 60°F. This is not a temperature-correction procedure for field density measurements.
Alongside calculators, the platform can grow into a practical reference library for formulas, unit systems, and engineering workflows.
PetroQube is a practical workspace for petroleum engineering students, field professionals, and lifelong learners who want to calculate, check, and understand—not just look up a number.
Explore browser-based calculators, inspect the formulas behind the results, convert between field and SI units, and build confidence with the assumptions each tool uses. No account is required to try the available tools.
PetroQube is an educational resource. Independently verify calculations before using them for operational or safety-critical decisions.
