practice. It is one of the most important safety measures that can be initiated
and followed.
21.1.9. Drills are to be conducted during both routine and special operations. Typical
times would be while;
 Drilling
 Shut down for equipment repairs
 Logging
 Waiting on orders
 Circulating

 The Driller is talking to someone
 Or any other time there is open hole and blowout preventers
installed.
21.2. Procedure
21.2.1. The Rig manager simulates the kick by raising a float in the mud pits or by
raising the arm on the flow show indicator and making a note of the time.
21.2.2. The Rig manager will assist in observing the crew and recording
completion times.
21.2.3. The Driller must detect the kick and sound the alarm.
21.2.4. The time of the alarm must be noted.

Immediately execute their assigned duties.
21.2.6. The Driller should prepare to shut in the well using the approved Shut-in
Procedure While Drilling.
21.2.7. The Rig manager will be on the rig floor to announce to the driller that the
exercise is only a drill and to stop him before he actually closes the blowout
preventers.
21.2.8. The time must be noted when the driller is prepared to shut in the well.
21.2.9. Members of the drilling crew must report back to the rig floor having
completed their assigned duties. These duties may include:
21.2.10. Driller: Shut in the well (simulated), Record drill pipe pressure and casing
pressure, Record time, Measure pit gain, Check choke manifold for valve
positioning and leaks.

22. Kick through Tripping:

22.1. The trip drill is designed to train the drilling crews to recognize and respond to
kick indications, which occur while tripping pipe. Like the pit drill, the trip drill is
useful for both teaching and testing purposes.
22.2. The Contract Rig manager with the knowledge of the Rig manager supervises
the trip drill.
22.3. All parts of the well control system must be kept hooked up and in good
condition, ready for drills.
22.4. When a new rig is picked-up, trip drills should be conducted during each trip
(both while pulling out and going into the hole) while the bit is up in the casing.
When the crew becomes proficient, trip drills should be conducted at least twice
weekly per crew, conditions allowing.
22.5. Procedure
22.5.1.The Rig manager simulates the kick by raising a float in the mud pits and
making a note of the time.
22.5.2.The Rig manager will assist in observing the crew and recording completion
times.
22.5.3.The Driller must detect the kick and sound the alarm.
22.5.4.The time of the alarm will be noted.
22.5.5.Upon hearing the alarm, all members of the drilling crew will immediately
execute their assigned duties.
22.5.6.The Driller must prepare to shut in the well using the approved Shut-in
Procedure While Tripping. This will include spacing out and stabbing/closing the
full open safety valve.
22.5.7.After the safety valve is installed and the Driller is ready to close the preventers,
the Company man will announce to the Driller that the exercise is only a drill
and that it is not necessary to close the preventers.
22.5.8.The time will be noted when the driller is prepared to shut-in the well.
22.5.9.Members of the drilling crew should proceed with their assigned duties and
report back to the rig floor upon completion. These duties may include:
22.5.10. Driller: Shut in the well (simulated), Record drill pipe and casing pressure,
record time, Measure pit gain, Check choke manifold for valve positioning and
leaks.
22.5.11. Derrick man: Weigh sample of mud from suction pit, Check volumes of barite,
gel, and water.
22.5.12. Floor Hand #1: Check accumulator pressures and pumps, Check BOP stack
for leaks, Turn on water jets to diesel exhausts.
22.5.13. Floor Hand #2: Stab safety valve. Close safety valve Stab inside BOP. Open
safety valve, Assist Driller on rig floor.

22.5.14. Floor Hand #3: Assist Derrick man on mud pits
23. Accumulator Drill

23.1. Accumulator drills are designed to verify that the accumulator/closing system is
in good working order and that it is properly sized for the particular blowout
preventer stack.
23.2. Accumulator performance must be proven with an accumulator drill when the
blowout preventers are first installed (which verifies proper sizing), and every 14
days thereafter in conjunction with the weekly BOP pressure tests (which
checks for hydraulic leaks).
23.3. Results of the accumulator drill, including closing times of the rams and annular
preventer, and initial final accumulator pressures are to be reported on the
Blowout Preventer Test and Equipment Checklist.
23.4. A notation should also be made on the tour report that an accumulator drill was
conducted.
23.5. Accumulator drills must be conducted when the drill pipe is not in open hole, but
up in the casing.
23.6. At least one joint of drill pipe must be in the hole for the pipe rams to close on.
23.7. The Rig manager should witness all accumulator drills, but the Rig manager is
responsible for the actual supervision of the drill.
23.8. Use the remote station to close the preventers every other drill.
23.9. Procedure
23.9.1. Turn off all accumulator-pressurizing pumps.
23.9.2. Record the initial accumulator, manifold, and annular pressures.
23.9.3. Close all of the preventers (EXCEPT THE BLIND RAMS). Substitute a
reopening of a pipe ram to simulate the blind ram closure when
applicable.
23.9.4. Open the HCR valve.
23.9.5. Measure and record the closing times for each preventer with a
stopwatch.
23.9.6. Record the final accumulator, manifold, and annular pressures.
23.9.7. To pass the accumulator test, all BOPs must have closed in less than 30
seconds with at least: 1500 psi accumulator pressure remaining (for a
3000 psi accumulator)
Note: Equipment that does not meet these requirements either has insufficient
capacity, insufficient precharge or needs repair. Closing time for annular preventers
20" and larger should not exceed 45 seconds.
23.9.8. Observe the remaining pressure for at least 5 minutes to detect any
possible ram piston seal leaks.
23.9.9. Re-open the BOP and turn the accumulator pump(s) back on.
23.9.10. Record the time required to charge system back up (re-charge time).
