2.5. Pressures


2.5.8. Maximum Allowed SICP

Task is used to compute Maximum allowable shut in casing pressure to prevent formation damage at the casing shoe.

Input Values
Fracture Gradient The gradient needed to initiate a fracture
Shoe TVD True vertical depth of casing shoe
Mud Weight Density of the mud
Results
Max Allowed SICP Maximum allowable shut in casing pressure is the initial shut-in casing pressure that will exceed formation strength at the casing shoe resulting in broken formation at the shoe
