    The document provides instructions for calculating the density of kill fluid needed when controlling a kick during well operations. It explains that the kill fluid density is calculated based on the static bottom hole pressure, total vertical depth of the well, and whether it is an oil or gas well. It also outlines the Driller's Method for circulating out a kick, which involves circulating the initial influx, filling the drill string with kill fluid, and then circulating the annulus to displace the remaining fluid.

    The passage discusses the Driller's Method for controlling a kick during drilling operations.

    The Driller's Method is a technique used to circulate an influx out of the well by circulating the influx with the original mud weight and then circulating kill mud in two steps to displace the influx.

    The steps of the Driller's Method include bringing the pump to kill speed, circulating out the influx to surface, circulating to fill the drill string with kill mud, and circulating to fill the annulus with kill mud while maintaining specific pressures at each step.

    Workover Kill Fluid Density Calculation

    Friends, here is the simple Workover Kill fluid Density calculation, hope would be helpful to all: Kill Fluid Density : {(SBHP + 35 or 75) x 624.25 } / TVD , lbs/cft where, SBHP = Static bottom Hole pressure , kg/cm2 TVD = Total Vertical Depth = (Total Depth - Deviation Correction ) , m 35 is the conversion factor for Oil Wells 75 is the conversion factor for Gas Wells

    Well Control Methods applied on the drilling of the oil wells


    The Driller's Method
    During drilling operation of oil wells, there may be inflow of formation fluids into the well, which is an undesirable condition. The driller should detect such events and closing the well immediately. Record information after the closing of the well corresponding to stabilization of pressure, volume gain, SIDPP (Shut-in Pressure Drillpipe) and SICP (Shut-in Casing Pressure. In the case of operations on floating units, this term could be redefined as Shut-in Choke Pressure). The control method to be applied is the driller's method. That is to circulate the influx even with the original weight of the mud, keeping constant the circulation pressure named ICP - Initial Pressure Circulation. The second circulation should be made with the kill mud weight in two steps: 1. Fill the drill string until the bit by keeping the pressure on the kill line constant and equal to SIDPP. 2. Complete circulation of the annulus to the surface keeping the pressure of circulation with the kill mud constant named FCP - Final Pressure Circulation.

    Attention: about drill bit off bottom


    This method should only be applied with the drill bit in the bottom hole or when the kick is completely in annullus of the column. To minimize errors of calculation of the kill mud weight, the calculations made in this application considers the depth of the drill bit instead of the depth of the well to calculate the kill mud weight. The formation

    pressure consider the depth of well. In case of top of the kick bellow the bit, it is recommended to apply the volumetric method until kick go through the drill bit to the annular, following then the driller's method. Formulas: ICP = Pks + SIDPP
