Sedimentary rocks are those that represent the material record of environments in the form of rock layers or strata that once existed on earth. There are two (2) types of sedimentary rocks‚ based on their textures: Clastic (also called “Detrital”)-- form from deposition of solid grains; classified based on grain size: conglomerate‚ sandstone‚ and shale Chemical -- form from

rocks may be further subdivided into two groups: sparry allochemical limestones (containing a sparry calcite cement of clear coarsely crystalline mosaic calcite crystals) and microcrystalline allochemical limestone(containing microcrystalline calcite mud‚ micrite‚ which is subtranslucent grayish or brownish particles less than about 5 microns in size). Further subdivision is based on the allochem ratios of Folk (1962) are shown in Scholle & Ulmer-Scholle (2003). Thus Folk’s classification (figures

pressure during circulation is greater than in static conditions due to friction. ECD at any point within the wellbore is calculated as follows [2]; ECD = EMD + ΔP/(TVDx0.052) Eq.5 Where; EMW = Equivalent Mud Weight of a static column of fluid open to the atmosphere ΔP = Frictional Pressure Loss TVD = True Vertical Depth During static conditions ΔP = 0 and thus; ECDstatic = EMW Eq.6 To remain
