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.
Shear Out Force Calculator
Shear pin & shear screw release force
Determine the force or pressure differential needed to shear setting pins and release rings, with a safety margin check against rated shear values.
Packer Circulation Calculator
Safe circulating rate & pressure across a packer
Calculate circulating pressure, rate and differential force across a set packer — circulate or reverse out without unseating or over-pressuring it.
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.
Hydrostatic Pressure Calculator
Mud weight to psi, gradient, and Equivalent Mud Weight
Convert mud weight to pressure gradient and hydrostatic pressure at any depth — ppg, lb/ft³, specific gravity or API gravity, plus solve-for-density.
Annular Velocity Calculator
Velocity from flow rate, or the rate to hit a target velocity
Fluid velocity through a pipe or annulus, from flow rate — or solve for the rate needed to hit a target velocity, with a hole-cleaning reference range.
Balanced Cement Plug Calculator
Cement volume, balanced length, spacer & displacement volumes
Cement volume, balanced length, spacer volumes, and displacement volume for a balanced cement plug — solve for plug length from a known cement volume too.
Temperature at Depth Calculator
Static formation temperature from surface temp & gradient
Static formation temperature at any depth, from surface temperature and a geothermal gradient — or solve for the gradient from a measured temperature.
Swab/Surge Pressure Calculator
Trip-speed-induced pressure change, laminar or turbulent
Surge and swab pressure from pipe trip speed, hole/pipe geometry, and mud rheology — or solve for the maximum safe trip speed.
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.
Max Overpull Calculator
Maximum safe additional overpull above current load
Maximum additional overpull above a current axial load, from pipe OD, ID, and steel grade — or solve for the resulting design factor at a target tension.
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.
Tubing Movement Calculator
Piston, buckling, ballooning and temperature — shown separately
Length and force changes of a tubing string sealed in a packer, from pressure and temperature — every effect shown with its method, then summed.
Tubing Stress Calculator
Burst, collapse and tension checked at every depth
Tubing stress design factors for burst, collapse and tension against API ratings along the whole string, with the governing constraint called out.
Casing Design Calculator
Burst, collapse and tension across multiple load cases
Screen a casing string against several design load cases at once — burst, collapse and tension at every depth, with the governing case called out.
Well Schematic Builder
Build a wellbore elevation you can attach to a program
Draw a wellbore elevation from your casing strings and equipment — drag depths or type them, with a legend and consistency checks included.
