Sub-skill of drilling: Drilling Hydraulics (+5).
Best use case
drilling-drilling-hydraulics is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Sub-skill of drilling: Drilling Hydraulics (+5).
Teams using drilling-drilling-hydraulics should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# Drilling Hydraulics (+5)
## Drilling Hydraulics
```python
# Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD)
ECD = MW + (delta_P_annular / (0.052 * TVD))
# Pressure Loss in Annulus
delta_P = (L * rho * v**2) / (25.8 * (Dh - Dp))
# Bit Hydraulics
HHP = (Q * delta_P_bit) / 1714
HSI = HHP / area_bit
```
## Rate of Penetration
```python
# Bourgoyne-Young Model
ROP = K * exp(a1 + sum(ai * xi))
# Mechanical Specific Energy
MSE = (WOB / area_bit) + (2 * pi * RPM * T) / (60 * area_bit * ROP)
```
## Torque and Drag (Soft String Model)
```python
T = T0 + mu * N * L # Torque
F = F0 + mu * N * L # Drag (+ for pulling, - for slack off)
# N is normal force, mu is friction factor
```
## Well Control
```python
# Kill Mud Weight
KMW = original_MW + (SIDPP / (0.052 * TVD))
# Maximum Allowable Annular Surface Pressure
MAASP = (fracture_gradient - MW) * 0.052 * shoe_TVD
# Kick Tolerance
KT = (FG - MW_current) * shoe_TVD / depth_total
```
## Example: ECD Calculation
```python
def calculate_ecd(
mud_weight_ppg: float,
annular_pressure_loss_psi: float,
tvd_ft: float
) -> float:
"""
Calculate Equivalent Circulating Density.
Args:
*See sub-skills for full details.*
## Example: Parameter Validation
```python
def validate_drilling_parameters(params: dict) -> None:
"""Validate drilling parameters are within safe ranges."""
if params['mud_weight'] < params['pore_pressure']:
raise ValueError("Mud weight below pore pressure — kick risk!")
if params['mud_weight'] > params['fracture_gradient']:
raise ValueError("Mud weight above fracture gradient — losses risk!")
if params['wob'] > params['bit_rating']:
raise ValueError("WOB exceeds bit rating")
