Question 1
A well has a true vertical depth of 10,000 ft and a formation pressure equivalent to 11.5 ppg. What hydrostatic mud weight is needed to exactly balance the formation pressure?
Correct Answer:
11.5 ppg
Question 2
Using the field formula, what is the hydrostatic pressure of a 12.0 ppg mud column at 9,500 ft TVD?
Correct Answer:
5,928 psi
Question 3
During drilling, which set of changes are the primary positive indicators that a kick is occurring?
Correct Answer:
A drilling break, increased flow out and a pit gain
Question 4
Which warning sign is normally the FIRST detectable indication that the well is taking a kick while circulating?
Correct Answer:
An increase in flow out of the well
Question 5
In a shut-in well, why is the shut-in casing pressure (SICP) normally higher than the shut-in drillpipe pressure (SIDPP)?
Correct Answer:
The annulus contains a lighter influx so its hydrostatic is lower
