Our Calculators

18 focused calculators for completion engineering across 3 categories — built and ready. Get in touch to purchase access.

All calculators

Calculators fall into 3 categories. Tubular Mechanics covers the physics of pipe, casing and strings, such as area, weight, stretch and casing design. Completion Tools covers the equipment that goes downhole, such as shear pins, packers and cement plugs. Pressure & Fluids covers what the wellbore is full of, such as hydrostatic pressure, annular velocity and swab/surge. Filter by category or search by name below.

Area Calculator

Pipe, casing & annular area calculations

Calculate internal, external and annular cross-sectional areas for any tubular combination — the basis for capacity, velocity and force work.

String & Casing Volume Calculator

Tubing, casing & annular volume / capacity

Calculate internal capacity and annular volume for tubing and casing strings — displacement volumes for cementing, fluid changes and circulating.

String Weight Calculator

Air weight & buoyed string weight

String weight in air and buoyed in any completion or drilling fluid — trustworthy hook load and hanger load before you pick up the string.

Stretch Calculator

Elastic pipe stretch for spacing & packer setting

Calculate elastic pipe stretch under tension, self-weight and temperature — overpull to space out tools, set a packer or find a stuck-pipe free point.

Pump Output Calculator

Duplex pump flow rate, output, and time to pump

Duplex pump flow rate and time to pump a target volume, from liner size, stroke length, and pump speed — or solve for the required rate.

Pipe Tally Calculator

Running joint-length tally with live space-out

Running cumulative depth from a joint-length tally, plus a starting offset — or solve for the pup-joint length needed to land on target.
