Well Control
Avoid kicks if possible
Catch them early if they do occur
Know how to control kicks if they do occur
![Page 20: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Avoiding Kicks While Tripping:
Keep the hole full.
Avoid excessive surge pressures.
Avoid excessive swab pressures
![Page 21: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Tripping Out of Hole
A good drilling engineer will always stay on the rig floor during the first 20 stands of a trip.
1. Make sure pipe is not pulled too fast.
2. Make sure annulus is kept full.
e.g. fill every 5 stands, and measure volume required to fill hole.
![Page 22: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Tripping Out Of Hole
If well is not taking enough fluid to replace volume of steel pulled from hole, fluid may have been swabbed into well.
Measure fluid volume to fill hole:
1. By counting pump strokes, or
2. By direct measurement from trip tank.
Note: The second method is best.
![Page 23: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Annular Fill-Up On Trips
Example 1
How much fill-up is required after pulling 5 stands of 5” OD, 19.5 #/ft drillpipe with extrahole tool joints?
[ Each stand is 93 ft long ].
![Page 24: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Annular Fill-Up On Trips
(i) Mud drains out through nozzles ………bbls
(steel only)
(ii) Nozzles are plugged ……… bbls (steel + mud)
![Page 25: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Example
Volume of fill-up req’d = 3.48 + 8.26
= 11.74 bbls
How much did the fluid level drop?
How much did the BHP drop?

31
Recommendations
Fill hole after each 5 stands of drill pipe when coming out of hole.
Fill hole after each stand of drill collars when coming out of hole.
When GIH after an extended period of time, break circulation gradually, at several different depths...
![Page 32: PETE 411 Well Drilling](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061610/56815966550346895dc6a2fe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Recommendations
Do not break circulation with bit and BHA just above the casing seat.
When breaking circulation, Start the pumps slowly, Rotate the drill string, Pick up on the drillstring at the same time
This will reduce the initial pressure required to get the mud moving
