The calculated boundary is not an approved trip speed. The worksheet does not choose a direction, speed, end condition, empirical factor, or pressure limit.

Direction review

Displayed direction

Both directions are always calculated and retained in the audit. This selector changes presentation only.

Explicit user assumptions

Steady-state trip model

End condition and rheology

String end
Model
Annulus
Declared model boundary: the `0.45` clinging and `1.5` peak factors are editable field-method assumptions. This release is steady-state and excludes acceleration, gel breaking, compressibility, temperature/pressure rheology, cuttings, local restrictions, losses, influx, free-surface motion, and dynamic pressure waves.

Surface-to-bottom intervals

Order rows from surface to bottom. Limits are optional and are never invented by the worksheet.

Calculation observations

TRANSITION_INTERPOLATION

BHA in open hole: transitional flow is represented by interpolation between the published regime boundaries.

FRACTURE_BOUNDARY_NOT_REACHED

No entered fracture boundary is reached within the declared speed-search range.

EMPIRICAL_EQUIVALENT_VELOCITY

Equivalent annular velocity uses the entered clinging factor 0.45 and peak-velocity factor 1.5; neither factor is selected or calibrated by the worksheet.

STEADY_STATE_SINGLE_PHASE_MODEL

Steady-state single-phase screening only. Acceleration, gels, compressibility, temperature/pressure rheology, cuttings, losses, influx, free-surface movement, and dynamic pressure waves are excluded.

Operational use warning: verify tally, survey TVD, end condition, float status, restrictions, representative rheology, fill-up practice, trip-tank response, and approved pore/fracture limits. The calculated boundary does not authorize a trip speed.
