    Drilling - English API Formula Sheet

    Section 1. Filled-in Kill Sheet Exercises - Gauge Problem Actions.

    Gauge Problem Exercises are constructed from a completed kill sheet ‘filled-in’ with all relevant
    volume and pressure calculations.

    Each question is based on the strokes, pump rate, drill pipe and casing gauge readings at a
    specific point in time during a well kill operation. Any one or a combination of these readings could
    indicate the action required. Options are shown in the multiple-choice answers.

    The casing and/or drill pipe pressures will only be relevant to the action if –

    • The casing and/or drill pipe pressures given in the question are below the expected pressures,
    or
    • The casing and/or drill pipe pressures given in the question are 70 psi or more above the
    expected pressures.

    Section 2. Calculation Formula.
