Since first noticing the above problem the choke operator has adjusted the choke from 1/2 OPEN to 3/4 OPEN. What effect has the gradual opening of the choke (from 1/2 OPEN to 3/4 OPEN) had on the bottom hole pressure? Has it: a. Increased b. Decreased c Stayed the same 8. During the killing operation the choke operator notices both the drill pipe and casing pressures slowly falling. He reacts by pinching in on the choke to maintain correct pumping pressure. This situation continues with increasing regularity. What is probably happening? Choke plugging Choke washing Annulus plugging Pipe washout pose 9. Since first noticing the above problem the choke operator has pinched in on his choke from 1/2 OPEN to 1/4 OPEN.
