Hydrostatics and Manometry
  1. Hydrostatics
    1. The study of pressures exerted by any fluid at rest.
      1. Principle: Pressure increases with increasing depth.
        1. Useful Equation
          1. F = pgh, where F is hydrostatic force, p is density of fluid, g is gravity and h is height of fluid.
            1. F = PA, where F is hydrostatic force, P is pressure, and A is surface are the fluid acts upon.
          2. Manometers
            1. Piezometer
              1. The simplest form of manometer. Not practical to use to measure gas pressure.
              2. Differential Manometer
                1. Cannot measure but can measure pressure difference.
                2. Open Manometer
                  1. A tube bent into U-shape designed to contain two or more fluids. It is used to measure pressure of different fluids.
                3. Industrial Applications
                  1. Concept of manometry can be used to measure the pressure difference in different wells and production/injection.
                    1. The pressure difference can be used to find the flow rate/production of oil from a reservoir.
                      1. Different type of manometry's concepts can be applied in different type of reservoir to achieve optimum production/flow rate.
