2.26 The density of 800 bbl of 14-lbm/gal mud must be increased to 14.5 lbm/gal
using API barite. The total mud volume is limited to 800 bbl. Compute the
volume of old mud that should be discarded and the weight of API barite
required.
Answer: Discard 19.05 bbl, add 28,000 lbm of barite.

Jawab:

Diketahui: V 2=800bbl
ρ1=14 lbm/ gal
ρ2=14 .5l bm/gal

Ditanya: V 2−V 1 =… ?
mB=…?

Penyelesaian:
( ρB −ρ2 ) ( 35−14.5 )
V 1=V 2 V 1=800 V 1=780.95 bbl
( ρB – ρ1 ) ( 35 – 14 )
Volume old mud that should be discarded:
V 2−V 1 =800−780.95¿ 19.05 bbl

Weight of API barite:

mB=(V ¿ ¿ 2−V 1 ) ρB ¿¿ 19.05∗42∗35¿ 28 , 000 lbm

Jadi, volume old mud yang harus dibuang adalah 19.05 bbl dan berat API
barite yang ditambahkan adalah 28,000 lbm.
2.27 The density of 900 bbl of a 16-lbm/gal mud must be increased to 17
lbm/gal. The volume fraction of low-specific- gravity solids also must be
reduced from 0.055 to 0.030 by dilution with water. A final mud volume of
900 bbl is desired. Computer the volume of original mud that must be
discarded and the amount of water and API barite that should be added.
Answer: Discard 409 bbl, add 257.6 bbl of water and 222,500 lbm of barite

Jawab:
Diketahui: V 2=9 00bbl
ρ1=1 6 l bm/gal
ρ2=1 7 l bm/ gal
f c1 =0.030 lbm/ gal
f c2 =0.055 lbm/ gal

Ditanya: V 2−V 1 =… ?
V w =… ?
mB=…?

Penyelesaian:
f c2 0.03
V 1=V 2 V 1=900 V =491 bbl
f c1 0.055 1
Volume of original mud that should be discarded:
V 2−V 1 =9 00−491¿ 409 bbl
and the amount of water:
( ρ B− ρ1) V 2− ( ρB −ρ1 ) V 1 ( 35−1 7 ) 900−( 35−16 ) 491
V w= ¿
( ρ B−ρ w ) ( 35−8.33 )
¿ 257.63 lbs
Weight of API barite:
mB=(V ¿ ¿ 2−V 1−V w ) ρB ¿¿ 151.37∗42∗35¿ 2 22, 51 3lbm

Jadi, volume original mud yang harus dibuang adalah 409 bbl, jumlah air
adalah 257.63 lbs dan berat API barite yang ditambahkan adalah 222,513
lbm.
2.28 Asumsing a clay and chemical cost of $10.00/bbl of mud discarded and a
barium sulfate cost of $0.10/lbm, compute the value of the mud discarded in
Problem 2.27. If an error of +0.01% is made in determining the original
volume fraction of low-specific-gravity solids in the mud, how much mud
was unnecessarily discarded?
Answer: $16,697; 191 bbl

2.29 Derive expressions for determining the amounts of barite and water that
should be added to increase the density of 100 bbl of mud from rho 1 to rho2.
Also derive an expression for the increase in mud volume expected upon
adding the barite and the water. Assume a water requirement of 1 gal per
snack of barite.
Answer: MB = 109,000 (𝜌2 - 𝜌1)/(28.08- 𝜌2); Vw = MB/4,200; V =
0.00091/MB

2.30 A 16.5-lbm/gal mud is entering a centrifuge at a rate of 20 gal/min along

with 8.34 lbm/gal of dilution water, which enters the centrifuge at a rate 10
gal/min. the density of the centrifuge underflow is 23.9 lbm/gal while the
density of overflow is 9.5 lbm/gal. The mud contains 25 lbm/bbl bentonite
and 10 lbm/bbl deflocculant. Compute the rate at which bentonite,
deflocculant, water, and API barite should be added downstream of the
centrifuge to maintain the mud properties constant.
Answer: 6.8 lbm/min of clay, 2.7 lbm/min of deflocculant, 7.4 gal/min of
water, and 3.1 lbm/min of barite.
