Kill Methods /4 0 votes, 0 avg 54 Created on April 06, 2023 Kill Methods 1 / 4 1. A kicks was taken and, while waiting for barite, the surface pressures started to increase after stabilization. What should be done? A. Bleed off mud holding casing pressure constant B. There is nothing that can be done C. Use the first circulation of the Driller's Method D. Use the Wait & Weight method to kill the well 2 / 4 2. Analyze the scenario below to answer the following question. Well is shut-in on a gas kick. Original SIDPP = 400 psi Original SICP = 700 psi DPP after first circulation of Driller’s Method = 500 psi CP after the first circulation of Driller’s Method = 500 psi What is the status of the well after the first circulation? A. The well is clean but overbalanced once there is trapped pressure in the well B. The well is underbalanced and there is a kick in the annulus C. There is a kick in the well once both pressures are higher than the original SIDPP D. There is no way to know, pump another bottoms-up 3 / 4 3. Use the information below to answer the following question: Original SIDPP = 400 Original SICP = 700 Initial Circulating Pressure = 1050 Pump is shut down during first circulation of Driller’s Method. Current DPP = 500 Current CP = 950 What is the current well condition? A. The well is overbalanced by 100 psi B. The well is overbalanced by 250 psi C. The well is balanced D. The well is underbalanced by 450 psi 4 / 4 4. Why should you leave spare capacity in the active pits when circulating out a kick? A. If the kick is a gas, it will expand and the pit level will increase B. To store the formation fluid as it is circulated out of the hole C. To compensate for any possible losses while killing the well D. If the kick is a oil, it will expand and the pit level will increase Your score is LinkedIn Facebook Twitter VKontakte 0% Restart quiz Please rate this quiz Send feedback
