Our Calculators

Six focused calculators for completion engineering — built and ready. Get in touch to purchase access.

All calculators

Calculators fall into two categories. Tubular Mechanics covers the physics of pipe, casing, and strings — area, volume, weight, and stretch. Completion Tools covers the equipment that goes downhole — shear pins and packers. 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 foundation for capacity, velocity, and force calculations.

Internal, external & wall (steel) areaAnnular area for any tubular pairPipe body tensile strength by grade (yield & ultimate)

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 operations.

Internal capacity (bbl/ft, gal/ft, m³/m)Annular volume between stringsFluid density → hydrostatic pressure

String Weight Calculator

Air weight & buoyed string weight

Calculate true string weight in air and buoyed in completion or drilling fluid — accurate hook load and hanger load figures for running and landing strings safely.

Weight in air & buoyed weightBuoyancy factor by fluid densityGrade-based tensile design factor

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, so you can 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 needed to space out tools, set a packer, or locate 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, with a solve-for-density mode.

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.
