🔍 Key Concepts

• Specific gravity / mud weight in pounds per gallon (ppg) and how it converts to weight per cubic foot or per barrel • How to use the volume of pit #4 from Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling) to find total mud weight • Effect of changing density from 16 ppg to 14 ppg on the total weight in long tons

💭 Think About

• First, if the volume of mud in pit #4 stays the same, how does lowering the mud weight from 16 ppg to 14 ppg change the total weight? • What is the relationship between pounds per gallon, total gallons in the pit, and then conversion to long tons? • Compare the original mud weight in long tons (at 16 ppg) with the new mud weight (at 14 ppg). About what percentage change should you expect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the volume of pit #4 from Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling) and keep it consistent before and after the change. • Convert both 16 ppg and 14 ppg to total pounds using the correct number of gallons in pit #4, then convert pounds to long tons (2,240 lb). • Check whether any answer choice implies no change in weight even though the density has changed and the volume has not.
