Event/procedure ECD change Other indications Comments
Mud gelation, Sudden, short-lived Similar pressure surge in Avoid surge by slow
pump startup pressure surge possible pump pressure pumps and break rotation
Cuttings pick-up Increase then level as Cuttings at surface Increase may be more
steady-state reached noticeable with rotation
Plugging annulus Intermittent surge Standpipe pressure Packoff may 'blow-through'
increases Surge increase ? before formation
Torque/RPM fluctuations breakdown
High overpulls
Cuttings bed formation Gradual increase Total cuttings expected If near plugging, may get
not seen at surface pressure surge spikes
Increased torque
ROP decreases
Plugging below sensor Sudden increase as High overpulls Monitor both standpipe
packoff passes sensor 'Steady' increase in pressure and ECD
- none if pack-off stays standpipe pressure
below sensor
Gas migration Increase if well shut-in Shut-in surface pressure take care if estimating gas
increase linearly (approx.) migration rate

Event/procedure ECD change Other indications Comments
Running in hole Increase - magnitude Monitor trip tank Effect enhanced if nozzles
dependent on gap, speed, plugged
rheology, etc…
Pulling out of hole Decrease - magnitude Monitor trip tank Effect enhanced if nozzles
dependent on gap, speed, plugged
rheology, etc…
Making a connection Decrease to static mud Pumps on/off indicator Watch for significant
density Pump flow rate lag changes in ESD
Barite sag Decrease in static mud High torque and overpulls While sliding periodically or
density, or unexplained rotating wiper trip to stir-up
density fluctuations deposited beds, correct
mud rheology
Gas influx Decreases in typical hole Increases in pit level and Initial increase in pit gain
sizes differential pressure may be masked
Liquid influx Decreases if lighter than Look for flow at mudline if Plan response if shallow
drilling fuid relevant water flow is expected
Increases if influx is
accompanied by solids
