  13. Petroleum Engineering 406 Lesson 1 Well Control

  14. 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

  15. Blowout

  16. Blowouts

  17. Well Control • Blowout • Surface • Underground • Blowouts caused by • equipment failure • human error

  18. 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.

  19. Well Control Terminology • Hydrostatic pressure = .052 x MW x TVD

  20. 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

  21. Hydrostatic Pressure A • Derive HSP equation • Area = A, sq.ft. • Height = h, ft. • Density = MW, ppg • Weight of fluid = • A*h (ft3)*62.4 lb/ ft3 *MW/8.33 • =62.4/8.33*MW*A*h h MW

  22. 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

  23. Terminology • Pressure Gradient • psi/ft = .052 x MW • ppg equivalent • Formation Pressure • Normal pressure • Abnormal pressure • Subnormal pressure

  24. Terminology • Overburden pressure • function of rock and fluid above zone of interest • Fracture pressure

  25. Terminology • Pump pressure or system pressure loss

  26. 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

  27. Terminology • Surge pressure • Swab pressure

  28. 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

  29. U-Tube Concept

  30. Basic Calculations • Dia, in - cap, bbl/ft

  31. Basic Calculations • Pump Output • Duplex Pump • Triplex Pump

  32. Basic Calculations

  33. Basic Calculations • Kill Weight Mud • KWM = SIDPP/(0.052 x TVD) + OWM • KWM = FP/(0.052 x TVD)

  34. Weight material to add to increase density
