Your company is drilling a deep oil well in Texas. Fluids pressure encountered in that well at 15000 ft was 10000 psig. Compute the minimum required density needed to drill safely and prevent a blowout. Express your result in Lbm/gal since these are the required units in the oil field. Show explicitly your handling of units.
