MAASP y gradiente de fractura desde LOT/FIT

Turn a leak-off or integrity test into a fracture gradient, a maximum allowable mud weight and the surface pressure the shoe will take.

Datos de entrada

ppg

Subtracted from the allowable weight. 0.3–0.5 ppg is common.

Cómo se calcula

  • Formation strength at the shoe = 0.052 × test mud weight × shoe TVD + surface test pressure.
  • Fracture gradient = strength / shoe TVD; equivalent mud weight = gradient / 0.052.
  • MAASP = (maximum allowable MW − current MW) × 0.052 × shoe TVD, with the allowable MW reduced by whatever safety margin you set.
  • Kick tolerance is expressed as the equivalent mud weight at total depth that the shoe can still support.

Dónde deja de ser cierto

The test measures the weakest point exposed at the time it was run, which is usually just below the shoe but not always — an unseen weak bed deeper in the open hole will fail first and this number will not warn you. Leak-off also changes after the hole has been open for days, and ballooning formations give a leak-off that is partly elastic and partly real. Re-test rather than re-use an old number on a long open-hole section.
