How this works
Surface Pressure: Treating Pressure + Friction - Hydrostatic.
HHP: Surface Pressure (psi) x Flow Rate (bpm) / 40.8. This is the standard oilfield HHP formula.
Working Pumps: Total HHP / (Pump Rating x Utilization %).
Industry standard: 80% max utilization extends pump life. 2 standby pumps is typical.
