Well Control - Preliminary record of information
Pre-recording of information.Proper secondary well control follows a planned course of action. Pre-recording relevant information avoids unnecessary delay. The following aspects concerning the pre-recording of information are discussed:
- Kick control worksheet.
- Checking pump pressure at reduced pump speeds.
- Establishing the weighting material mixing capacity of the rig.
- Relationship between bottom hole pressure, formation strength at shoe and mud gradient.
- Determining the maximum allowable annular surface pressure (MAASP).
