    Example Pressure Gradients: Fluids Pressure Gradient G/CM Kpa/M Psi/Ft

    Uploaded by

    Hadi Hendizadeh
    This document provides examples of pressure gradients measured in common petroleum engineering fluids including gas, sour gas, condensate, oil, water, heavy oil, bitumen, and mud fluids. It lists typical density and pressure gradient ranges for each fluid in various units and notes that the given values are sensitive to pressure, temperature, and gas content for liquids. Pressure gradients can vary from 0.05 psi/ft for pure methane gas to over 20 kPa/m for some mud fluids.
