2.6 SHUT IN PRESSURE INTERPRETATION

2.6"1 Shut -in Drill Pipe Pressure (SIDPP)
the hydrostatic
The shut in pressure on the drill stiing side is the difference between

pressure of drilling ftuiO anO the formltion fluid pressure. When
annulus becomes
iritting, the drili string remains uncontaminated whereas
pressure of drilling fluid, the

resultant pressure will be the pressure of the formation

SIDPP is used to determine the kill mud weight required to balance
.

pressure by using the equation given below

SIDPP(psi)
Kill Mud DensitY (PPg) =

+ original Mud Density(PPg)

0.052 x Well TVD( ft)

The shut in drill pipe pressure should be read & recorded from the
