Drilling Formula Sheets is a set of Drilling Formulas used commonly by drilling engineers in the onshore and offshore oil drilling industry. They are used as part of a key piece of engineering work called Well Control. These formulas are part of the teachings of all well control schools and well engineering schools and for many years have been available from the American Petroleum Institute (API). The formulas from Skynet Labs are currently available in several formats, such as Excel sheets, smart phone app and HTML5 web. The formulas otherwise are available in several well control handbooks. In 2012 Skynet Labs Ltd, an Irish oil and gas software company took a set of common drilling formula used in the drilling profession in offshore and onshore oil and gas exploration and abstracted out a smart device app for iPhone and android. There are approximately 5000 formulas that are used day today in the drilling industry. These formulas are mainly to do with annular dynamics and fluid dynamics. They are used in the practice of Well Control which is one of the most important jobs of any engineer on a drilling platform on or offshore.
