PetroSmart Academy (https://www.petrosmartacademy.com, the "Website") is an educational resource published by Ahmadou Habibou, an individual publisher based in Cameroon. Please read this disclaimer before relying on any article, worked example or calculator.
Educational purpose only
The articles, worked examples, figures and interactive tools on the Website are provided to help students and professionals understand petroleum engineering, drilling, production, HSE and related subjects. They are not engineering advice, a design basis or an operating procedure, and they are not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified engineer, your company's procedures, the equipment manufacturer's documentation or the applicable standards and regulations.
Worked examples and calculators
- Unless an article explicitly cites a published source for a case, numerical examples are synthetic exercises: their input values are illustrative assumptions chosen to show a method, not data from a real well, field or company.
- Equations are given with their assumptions and limits of validity. Results outside those limits, or obtained with different units, may be wrong.
- The interactive calculators are simplified teaching models. They are provided "as is", have not been certified for engineering use, and must not be used for well control, structural, pressure-containment or safety-critical decisions.
- Always check units, assumptions and results against primary references before applying them.

We work to keep the content accurate and we review and correct articles over time, but errors or outdated information can remain. Standards, regulations and industry practices change. If you find an error, please tell us through the contact page; verified corrections are published in the article concerned.
