  • Centraliser length: the length of a centraliser blade which contacts the wellbore in inches. This is used for hydraulics Calculations.

  • Centraliser blade width: width of 1 blade of the centraliser in inches. This is used for hydraulics Calculations.

  • Centraliser blade count: number of blades on centraliser. This is used for hydraulics Calculations.

  • Internal Fluid Weight: This is the weight of fluid inside the liner and is used for floating casing. If no value is entered the program assumes the pipe is filled with mud as per the fluid properties. If zero is entered, the program assumes there is NO fluid. If the fluid inside is a different weight from the mud weight in the fluid properties, enter the weight in ppg. This is used for T&D Calculations.

  • Tensile Yield: The tensile yield of the component. This value is displayed on the charts if selected. Plays no part in any calculation

  • Torsional Yield: The torsional yield of the component. This value can be displayed on the charts if selected. Plays no part in any calculation

  • Burst: The Burst pressure of the pipe in psi. Plays no part in any calculation

  • Collapse: The collapse pressure of the pipe in psi. Plays no part in any calculation

  • Bowspring Restoring Force: The Force exerted by a centralizer against the casing to keep it away from the wellbore wall. This input is used in the standoff calculation to determine how much the bow spring centralizer has deformed for a given side force. The centralizer will never compress more than the body OD. The higher the side force the more deformation of the centralizer. If nothing is entered for the restoring force it is assumed that the centralizer is rigid.

  • Centralizer Body OD: The OD of the body of the centralizer. This is used for hydraulics Calculations.

  • Friction Reduction %: % reduction in torque and drag (from manufacturers spec), based on the type of centralizer which is being used. This is used for T&D Calculations.

  • Running Force: The maximum force required to insert a centralizer into a specified wellbore diameter. This input is not used in the standoff calculation but is used for T&D. The running force will be applied to the hookload and torque values and will increase / decrease with the well bore size. There will be no additional force added until the centralizer is compressed 50%. The running force is then increased accordingly based on the more it is compressed.

  • Centralizer Type: The user can manually enter the centralizer type and make / model here. This is not used in any calculations.

  • Running Force Restriction ID: If a value is entered here, this will force the program to use 100% of the running force for that given hole size or below. This is regardless of the compression experienced.

  • Reamer Arm Distance from Bottom: Distance from the bottom of the tool to the start of the Reamer Arm section. Enter in the depth units selected from the units menu. Used for SAG calculations

  • Connection Top: Plays no part in any calculation

  • Connection Bottom: Plays no part in any calculation

  • Arm Width: Arm width in inches, used for hydraulics calculations

  • No of Arms: The number of arms on the reamer. Not used in any calculation

  • Tensile Yield: The tensile yield of the component. This value is displayed on the charts if selected

  • Torsional Yield: The torsional yield of the component. This value can be displayed on the charts if selected
