    Lesson 1
    Well Control
    Well Control
    • Kick
    – “an unscheduled entry of formation fluids into
    the wellbore, of sufficient Quantity to require
    shutting in the well.

    • Blowout
    – Loss of control of a kick
    Blowout
    Blowouts
    Well Control
    • Blowout
    – Surface
    – Underground
    • Blowouts caused by
    – equipment failure
    – human error
    Well Control
    • Engineers in office can aid in well control
    by:
    – Provide pressure profiles for all pending wells
    – Provide offset information such as logs, bit
    records, mud reports, drilling records.
    – Provide support and assistance personnel on
    location.
    Well Control Terminology
    • Hydrostatic pressure = .052 x MW x TVD
    Hydrostatic Pressure
    • Derive HSP equation
    • Calculate the HSP for each of the
    following:
    – 10,000’ of 12.0 ppg mud
    – 12,000’ of 10.5 ppg mud
    – 5,000’ of 11.2 ppg mud on top of 6,000’ of 16.5
    ppg mud
    Hydrostatic Pressure
    A
    • Derive HSP equation
    – Area = A, sq.ft.
    – Height = h, ft.
    – Density = MW, h
    MW
    ppg
    • Weight of fluid =
    – A*h (ft3)*62.4 lb/ ft3
    *MW/8.33
    – =62.4/8.33*MW*A*h
    Hydrostatic Pressure
    • This weight is equally distributed over an
    area of A sq.ft or 144*A sq. in.

    • Pressure = Weight (force)/area


    • = 62.4*MW*A*h
    • 8.33*144*A
    • P=.052*MW*h where h=TVD
    Terminology
    • Pressure Gradient
    – psi/ft = .052 x MW
    – ppg equivalent
    • Formation Pressure
    – Normal pressure
    – Abnormal pressure
    – Subnormal pressure
    Terminology
    • Overburden pressure
    – function of rock and fluid above zone of
    interest
    • Fracture pressure
    Terminology
    • Pump pressure or
    system pressure loss
    Terminology
    • Slow Pump Pressure
    • Taken:
    – every tour by each driller
    – pumps repaired or liners changed
    – mud properties change
    – every 500’ of hole
    – change in BHA
    – bit nozzles changed
    Terminology
    • Surge pressure
    • Swab pressure
    Terminology
    • Shut-in drillpipe pressure - SIDPP
    – FP = HSPdp + SIDPP
    • Shut-in casing pressure - SICP
    – FP = HSPcsg mud + HSPinflux + SICP
    • Bottom-hole pressure - BHP
    – BHP = HSP + SIP + Friction + Surge - Swab
    U-Tube Concept
