PROCEDURE
1 Initiate a Kick Log (pressures, times, etc.)
2 Start pump and bring pump to speed following Pump-Start Procedure.
Surface BOPs
Start pump and maintain casing pressure constant at SICP value.
Subsea BOPs
Start pump and allow casing pressure to reduce by choke line friction.
OR: Start pump and maintain kill monitor pressure constant at SICP value.
3 When pump is up to kill rate, read & record the correct Initial Circulating Pressure from the drillpipe gauge.
4 Continue holding the drillpipe pressure constant at the ICP value until all influx is out of annulus.
2nd Circulation
5 When kill weight mud is ready, zero counter and bring pump on line following Pump-Start Procedure as above.
6 Drillpipe pressure should be at (or nearly equal to) previous ICP.
7 Use choke to control DP pressure according to Pressure Schedule (ICP to FCP) until kill mud is at the bit.
8 Continue holding the FCP constant (and pump rate constant) until kill weight mud returns to the surface.
9 Stop pump and check that well is dead.

3 When kill weight is ready, zero counter and bring pump on line following Pump-Start Procedure as above.
4 When pump is up to kill rate read and record correct Initial Circulating Pressure on drillpipe gauge.
Drillpipe pressure should be at (or nearly equal to) the pre-determined ICP. If the difference is 100 psi
or greater then use the measured value and recalculate the DP Pressure Schedule.
5 Use choke to control DP pressure according to Pressure Schedule (ICP to FCP) until kill mud at bit.
6 Continue holding constant FCP and constant pump rate until kill mud returns to surface.
7 Stop pump and check that well is dead.
Gas migration is indicated by an equal and steady rise in SIDPP and SICP!
2 Calculate the Hydrostatic Pressure per bbl of mud in the annulus (recommend upper annulus).
HP per bbl in annulus = Mud Gradient / Annular Capacity
Annular Capacities Enter Annular Capacity = 0.049 bbl/ft
0 0.0000 bbl/ft
0 0.0000 bbl/ft Hydrostatic psi per bbl = 0.0000 psi/bbl
0 0.0000 bbl/ft
3 Caculate the Volume to Bleed for each Cycle. Volum to bleed per cycle = #DIV/0! bbls
4 Allow shut-in casing pressure to increase by the Safety Margin without bleeding. 100.00 psi
5 Allow shut-in casing pressure to increase by the Range without bleeding. 200.00 psi Pchoke 1
6 Maintain the increased casing pressure constant by bleeding small increments of mud from
the choke until the Volume per Cycle is bled (measured in a calibrated trip tank).
7 Repeat Steps 6 & 7 until another well control procedure is implemented or gas is at the surface.

2 Pump into the closed-in well to increase casing pressure by the Working Range.
Note: In the case of high fluid loss downhole Estimated New Casing Pressure (P2) = 650.00 psi
use the casing pressure that stabilized Use stabilized casing pressure after injecting!
after injecting the lube mud (may not be
possible to use the recommended range). Actual stabilized casing pressure after injection (P2) = 700.00 psi
3 Allow time for the mud to "lubricate" through the gas (usually 10 - 15 minutes).
4 Bleed the casing pressure to the calculated New Casing Pressure value.
NOTE: Ensure that no significant amount of mud is bled. If so, allow additional
time for the gas to lubricate through the mud (or gas is not all at surface).
Returns should be routed through the mud gas separator to a measuring tank
and any volume of mud bled back with the gas is recorded and accounted for.
5 Use the New Casing Pressure as the Starting Shut-in Casing Pressure for the next cycle.
6 Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for additional cycles until all gas is removed or another procedure is implemented.
NOTE: It is likely that less and less volume will be lubricated during each additional
cycle as the process continues. This is due to the reduction in volume of the
compressible gas.
Enter starting shut-in casing pressure due to gas at surface (P1)- 600.00 psi
2 Calculate the Hydrostatic Pressure per bbl of mud in the annulus (recommend upper annulus).
HP per unit volume in annulus = Fluid Gradient / Annular Capacity
3 Pump into the closed-in well to increase casing pressure by the Range.
Enter the New Shut-in Casing Pressure (P2) = 740.00 psi
Record the actual value.
4 Allow time for the mud to "lubricate" through the gas.
5 Measure the tank and calculate the hydrostatic pressure increase of the mud lubricated for that cycle.
Enter the volume lubricated for cycle = 12.0 bbls
Hydrostatic Increase = Volume lubricated for cycle x Hydrostatic per bbl = 0.00 psi
6 Bleed dry gas from the choke to reduce the casing pressure by the range and by the hydrostatic increase.
Note: Ensure that no significant amount of mud Casing pressure before bleeding (P2) = 740.00 psi
is bled. If so, allow additional time for the gas to First bleed casing back to (P1) value = 600.00 psi
lubricate through the mud. Returns should be Then bleed off the HP increase = 0.00 psi
routed through the mud gas separator to a measureing Bleed casing pressure to = 600.00 psi
tank and any volume bled back with the gas is
accounted for!
7 Repeat steps 3 through 6 for additional cycles until all gas is removed or another procedure is implemented.
NOTE: It is likely that less and less volume will be lubricated during each additional
cycle as the process continues. This is due to the reduction in volume of the
compressible gas.
2 Calculate the Hydrostatic Pressure per bbl of mud in the annulus (recommend upper annulus).
HP per unit volume in annulus =Fluid Gradient / Annular Capacity
Annular Capacities Enter Annular Capacity = 0.0489 bbl/ft
0 0.0000 bbl/ft
0 0.0000 bbl/ft Hydrostatic psi per bbl = 0.0000 psi/bbl
0 0.0000 bbl/ft
Enter the Hole Diameter (inches) 8.5 in OH Capacity = 0.0702 bbl/ft
3 Calculate the length of influx when penetrated by the BHA, L1. L1 = 0.0 ft
L1 = Influx Volume / OH X DC Annular Capacity Enter the OH by Collar Capacity = 0.0291 bbl/ft
5 Calculate the pressure increase due to influx penetration, Pp. Pp = 0.00 psi
Pp = (L1 - L2) x (Mud Gradient - Gas Gradient)
6 Calculate the pertinent Strip Tank (Vs) and Trip Tank (Vt) volumes.
Enter DP OD being stripped = 5 in Vs = 2.3 bbls
Enter length per stand = 93 ft
Vs = Closed end pipe displacement per stand Vt = #DIV/0! bbls
Vt = Working pressure range (Pw) / Upper annular hydrostatic per unit volume
Procedure:
1 Strip first stand (without bleeding) to allow casing pressure to increase to Pchoke1 value.
2 Choke operator to bleed as necessary to maintain casing pressure constant at Pchoke value. After each stand,
drain the stripping volume Vs from the Trip Tank into the Stripping Tank (or alternate). Remember to lower pipe slowly,
have the floorhands remove pipe burrs from tool-joints, and remember to fill the string after each stand.
3 Continue as in Step 2 until a net gain of Vt (volume representing the expansion of migrating gas) is noted in the Trip Tank.
Then close the choke.
4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 until on bottom. When on bottom, circulate well dead using the Driller's Method.
