Controlling a well has two primary objectives: to kill the well safely by stopping the flow of formation fluids into the wellbore and minimizing stresses in the borehole by maintaining control of downhole pressure. Maintaining downhole pressure control allows operators to kill the well without fracturing the formation or losing control of the well.
