Question

SP a1. "Top kill" of the BP oil well. Data: Ocean floor 1.3 km below surface, density of saltwater 1030 kg/m2, density of oil 720 kg/m3, density of heavyweight drilling mud 1900 kg/m2, overpressure at the capped well-head 6500 psi, well pipe diameter 0.5 m, one barrel is equivalent to 159 liters. Calculate the absolute pressure of saltwater at the ocean floor. What is the absolute pressure at the capped well-head? Calculate the length of the column of mud that must displace the column of oil to give a pressure equal to that of the saltwater pressure at the ocean floor.

Explanation / Answer

the pressure at capped sized head =6500* 6894.757293168+720*y2*9.8 the y2 value shud be given.... the y3 value shud be given...
