•Hydraulic energy if becoming very important in modern day drilling
–Proper hydraulics program can increase ROP, help minimize hole enlargement, help to clean the hole –Special tools like MWD, LWD and mud motors require an available pressure to function properly •Hydraulic forces are limited to the available pump horsepower.
•All the pressure losses (pipe, bit, annular, tools etc) should be calculated beforehand to ensure adequate pressure is available for tools and hole cleaning. •Density, plastic viscosity, BHA design all affect hydraulics
