Drilling Fluid Properties -Hydrostatic Pressure

Hydrostatic Pressure

As mentioned earlier, this is the pressure created by a column of fluid due to its density and vertical height. This type of pressure always exists and may be calculated whether the fluid is static or flowing. It can be calculated using:

Hp(psi)= MW ´ 0.0519 ´ TVD(ft)
