Question: Based on your plot of mud weight ( ppg ) vs depth ( f t ) , draw casing setting of the well and determine

Based on your plot of mud weight (ppg) vs depth (ft), draw casing setting of the well and determine the following:
a. Safe mud window.
b. Number of casing, name of each casing and depth of the casing shoe.
c. Determine mud weight used to drill each section and hydrostatic pressure.
Note:
-Here you can use Excel software. If you prefer to do manually write your steps in detail.
write the used method of casing setting and explain your steps in detail.
