Question 2 How many sacks of barite are required to rise the mud weight of
775bbl from 77lb/ft3 to 92 lb/ft3. Calculate the new mud density when 126bbl of
oil added to the new system.
Given:
W1=77lb/ft3 = 10.3lb/gal
W2=92lb/ft3= 12.3lb/gal
Find:
Sucks of barite and new mud density when 126 bbl of oil is added
Sacks of barite
= 1297.75 = 999.8 sx
775
VM + VO = VF
= 11.5lb/ft3
Question 3: A 1000 bbl unweighted fresh water mud system has a density of 9.5
lbm/gal. What mud treatment would be required to reduce the solids content to
4% by volume? The total mud must be maintained at 1000 bbl and the minimum
allowable mud density is 8.8 lbm/gal.
Given:
Vm = 1000 bbl
W1 = 9.5 lbm/gal
Ww = 8.33 ppg
Ws = 21.7 lb/gal
Find: What mud treatment would be required to reduce the solids content to 4%
by volume?
The initial density of mud can be found using the following formula:
W1 = Wsfsi -Wwfwi
fsi + fwi = 1
fsi = 8.7%;
fwi = 91.3%
V = 457 bbl
Yet the same amount of water has to be added to keep a VTotalMud of 1000 bbl
and reduce to 4% the content of solids by volume as stated in the question. So;
Given:
V1=600bbl
1 = 12blm/gal
2 = 14blm/gal
1 28.0912
V2= V1( ) = V1( = 1.142 1

Question 5 The density of 800 bbl of 14lbm/gal must be increased to
14.5lbm/gal using API barite. The total mud volume is limited to 800bbl.
Compute the volume of old volume that should be discarded and the weight of
API barite required.
Given:
V1=800bbl
1 = 14/
2 = 14.5/
Find: Volume of old mud discarded and the weight of API barite required.
