A reduction can be in place by displacing the well to a lighter mud ergo the analysis has to be repeated considering the new Specific Gravity (s.g.) of the mud, obtaining a new differential pressure and buoyancy. Using the values obtained in Equation 1 we will get the surface force which can be below…
