               OBJECTIVES
               Upon completion of chapter 9, the student will be able to—
                 1.  Perform an electrical loading analysis of drilling, production, pipeline, and
                    refining facilities.
                 2.  Calculate electrical power factor of a system.
                 3.  Analyze PLC applications using logic numbering systems.
                 4.  Understand how electrical power influences diesel engine power loading.
                 5.  Calculate mud control problems involving mud in the system, mud weight-
                    ing, cycle time, and annular volume and velocity of mud.
                 6.  Solve well-control problems dealing with hydrostatic pressure, circulating
                    pressure, bottomhole pressure, shut-in drill pipe pressure, maximum allow-
                    able surface pressure, and gradients of mud and influx.
                 7.  Determine the ton-miles of service required by a drilling line while making
                    a round trip, making hole, coring, and setting casing.

                 8.  Determine the amount of emulsion-treating chemical needed to use on a
                    lease.
                 9.  Calculate the hourly gas flow through an orifice meter.
                10.  Determine how to calibrate electronic instruments using basic math prin-
                    ciples.
                11.  Calculate negative buoyancy involved in pipeline construction under water.
                12.  Convert hydrostatic head to pressure and vice versa in dealing with pumps.
                13.  Find the pump horsepower needed for an oil pipeline.

                14.  Determine the locations of pipeline pumping stations and plot a profile of
                    ground elevations along a pipeline route.
                15.  Find the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a volume of
                    liquid.
                16.  Calculate the amount of product from a particular refining process using
                    known data on feeds and other products.

               INTRODUCTION

               This chapter gives several equations that are useful to those who work in the
               petroleum industry. However, those who work in other industries may also find
               them helpful. Furthermore, be aware that Appendix A lists other industry-related
               formulas that are used in this text.
