Pressure losses in the annulus are equally important when designing circulation programs because
significant pressure losses can develop in the constrained space. Determining annular pressure loss is
critical when larger coiled tubing is used inside conventional production tubing sizes. Total pressure
losses are seen at the tubing reel inlet, so it is prudent to estimate expected pressure losses for the
entire system.
Annulus fluid flow is different from flow in unobstructed tubes due to the increased tubular surface area
contacting fluid. When considering frictional pressure losses in tubing annuli, equivalent circular
diameter (De) of the flow area is used to represent this increase in tubular surface area. Several
complicated derivations of De are available in the petroleum industry, but hydraulic diameter (D b-Dc)
times a factor of 0.816 is a simple and relatively accurate representation of De for an annulus. This
relationship yields valid equivalent diameters for coiled tubing work if D c/Db>0.3.

Dividing the calculated pressure drop by 1,000 and multiplying by coiled tubing length results in a
predicted pressure loss of 1,525 psig at 0.50 bpm through 13,500 ft of tubing.
