Consider that a 15,000-ft directional well is drilled vertically to 6,000 ft and the remainder of the well is inclined (straight line) from vertical at 40 deg. The reservoir at bottom has a formation pressure equal to 6,700 psi. Compute the minimum required mud weight to drill safely this formation. Round to the nearest tenth.
