Shut In Procedure Well Control Quiz

Which statement is correct from the following list about Influx?

In which situations given below, the well shall be shut in immediately?

What are three important shut-in procedures while DRILLING from the following list?

Who is the person who has the responsibility to shut-in the well?

During a normal drilling operation, the BOP stack and choke manifold is lined like this.

HCR valves for operating BOP stack inner/outer choke and kill valves are in the CLOSED position.

Manual choke and kill valves on choke line side at the BOP (outboard of the HCR) are in the OPEN position.

Valves on the choke manifold are not in the normal flow routing in the CLOSED position.

Valves on the choke manifold are in the normal flow routing are in the OPEN position.

Remote Choke is CLOSED.

Mud Gas Separator Valve OPEN.

MGS Overboard Valve is CLOSED.

What is the line-up method?

After the well has been shut in, there are several items need to read and recorded. These include EXCEPT?

Which type of shut-in procedure will minimize the wellbore influx?

The vast majority of kicks happen unintentionally. As per the statistics, when do the majority of the kicks occur?

Which is the correct shut-in procedure while tripping from the following list?

What type of shut in will minimize water hammer effect?

After the well is securely shut in, the drilling personnel need to gather as much information about the wellbore condition as possible from the following EXCEPT:

Why do we use Shut In Drill Pipe Pressure (SIDP) to determine kill weight mud?

Typically, when the well is shut in, SIDP is usually less than SICP. However, there is a situation when both pressures are the same.

What could it be?

After bumping the float, the SIDP is 400 psi.

Well is shut in at 8900’ MD/ 8,000’ TVD.

Current mud weight is 12.0 ppg

What is the Kill Weight Mud required for this case?

The well is shut in with kick off bottom. There are few recommended options that can be performed to control the well EXCEPT.

In which situation, the float bumping procedure can be difficult to do?

What is the correct statement from the following about SICP and SIDP?

What is the shut in procedure which most drilling contractors and operators recommend?

In some occasion when large shut-in casing pressures cause an increase in the wellbore pressures above the influx. This can lead to differential sticking. What should you do during shut-in and well kill operation?

Vulnerable rubber parts (as bonnet seals, top seal, and ram packers) can fail under severe well conditions. What are those possible conditions?
