2.2.4. Equivalent Circulating Density

Task is used to calculate mud equivalent circulating density (ECD) if bit true vertical depth (TVD) and annular pressure loss are defined.

Input Values
	Mud Weight	Density of Mud
	Annular Pressure Loss	Loss of pressure within the well annulus
	Bit TVD	True vertical depth of the bit
Results
	Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD)	The effective density exerted by a circulating fluid against the formation
