Gauge Problem Exercises are constructed from a completed kill sheet filled-in with all relevant volume and
pressure calculations.
Each question is based on the strokes, pump rate, drill pipe and casing gauge readings at a specific point in time
during a well kill operation. Any one or a combination of these readings could indicate the action required.
Options are shown in the multiple-choice answers.
The casing and/or drill pipe pressures will only be relevant to the action if
The casing and/or drill pipe pressures given in the question are below the expected pressures, or
The casing and/or drill pipe pressures given in the question are 70 psi or more above the expected
pressures.
