    This document outlines a decision tree for controlling a well without a riser in the event of a suspected or confirmed subsurface flow (SWF). It provides options to check for flow using a flow check (FC) and indicators like resistivity readings. If flow is confirmed, it recommends pumping heavier drilling fluid into the well in 0.5 ppg increments from 11.5 ppg up to 13.0 ppg if needed to control the flow and achieve a hydrostatic pressure sufficient to prevent SWF from entering the wellbore.
