Programming complex drilling equations for use on common computer spreadsheets can help an engineer solve complex problems quickly and correctly. Although many off-the-shelf software packages are readily available and relatively inexpensive, an engineer may still have to create his own programs or modify these commercial programs for specific problems. Thus, engineers should not only be familiar with the common spreadsheet programs but also be able to program them for individual applications. The paper briefly describes various spreadsheet programs and then illustrates two typical engineering problems. The first problem is the calculation of particle slip velocity, and the second is the calculation of total fluid friction pressure losses in a hole using the Bingham plastic model.
