Rules of Thumb for Preliminary ERD Well Planning
 Rotary Speed
 P-HAR > 6.50 – >120 minimum, 180 rpm ideal
 P-HAR 3.25 – 6.50 – >120 rpm minimum

Schlumberger Private
 P-HAR < 3.25 – 60-70 rpm minimum, 120 rpm ideal

 Annular Velocity
 200 ft/min (1.00 m/sec) – Ideal
 150 ft/min (0.75 m/sec) – Minimum (for efficient hole cleaning)
 100 ft/min (0.50 m/sec) – Poor Cleaning + Barite Sag
