MACP and Well Control Record

This document contains information for monitoring and controlling well pressures during drilling operations. It provides the maximum allowable casing pressure (MACP) for different mud weights and gradients. It also lists procedures for checking for gas flows and soft shut-ins, warning signs of well kicks, and a well control record sheet to log drilling parameters like drill pipe pressure, casing pressure and pump strokes over time.
