Abstract
In a drilling system for drilling a well borehole from a surface location, hydraulic calibration is performed by making a plurality of hydraulic calibration measurements, each hydraulic calibration measurement being made at a respective drill-string RPM and flow-rate within a hydraulic calibration range. A hydraulic baseline function is then determined which predicts, within a predetermined degree of accuracy, each of the plurality of hydraulic calibration measurements.
