GENERAL KILL PROCEDURE


Pump Start Up Procedure:

Pump

Choke

~ When the choke pressure gauge starts to respond in each step,

Speed

Pressure

(SPM)

(psi)

600

~ Zero the stroke counter when kill mud has reached rig floor.

600

~ When the pump has reached the kill speed, record the initial

12

600

circulating pressure and compare with the calculated value.

18

600

~ If the recorded and calculated values are close to each other,

24

600

30

600

manipulate the choke valve to adjust the choke pressure


according to the table on the right.

continue the kill operation. If they are significantly different, stop


the pump, shut-in the well and investigate.

If choke pressure in the above table is constant, the conventional kill method will be used, which will ignore
Annular Pressure Loss (APL) to provide an over-balance pressure.
If choke pressure is decreasing during pump start up, the slimhole technique will be used, which will compensate
APL during kill. When APL is relatively high however, it may be impossible to fully compensate APL. In this
case, the choke pressure will reduce to zero and the choke valve become wide-open during pump start up.

Displacing Drillpipe and Annulus with Kill Mud:


Once the pump has reached kill speed, the choke valve should be adjusted to control the DP pressure so that the
bottom hole pressure is maintained constant. This means that:
~ During the 1st complete circulation using Driller's method, the DP pressure be maintained constant at the
initial circulating pressure.
~ When kill weight mud is being pumped down the drillpipe (using either Driller's or W&W), the DP pressure
be adjusted according to the standpipe pressure chart & table shown in the 2nd page of the kill sheet.
Once the kill mud has entered into the annulus, the DP pressure should be maintained constant. However, at
some point when the annulus is being displaced by kill mud, or after the influx is out of hole, the choke valve
may become wide-open. From then on, DP pressure will increase gradually while choke valve is kept at
the full open position. This will continue until the kill mud reaches the choke, at which DP pressure should be
equal or close to the value shown in the "Kill Data" Section.

Complete Kill Operation:


~ When the kill mud has returned to surface, stop the pump and close the choke valve to check drillpipe and
choke pressures.
~ If both drillpipe and choke pressures are zeros, open the BOP and further flow-check the annulus.
~ A further complete circulation should be carried out. In the mean time, a suitable overbalance should be
added to the mud weight.

~ Zero stroke counter when kill mud reaches rig floor.

231

~ When pump has reached kill speed, record the initial

circulating pressure and compare with calculated value.

32

40

262

~ If the recorded and calculated values are close to each

40

277

other, continue the kill operation. If they are significantly different, stop pump, shut-in the well and investigate.
If the choke pressure in above table is constant, the conventional kill method will be used, which will ignore both
Choke Line Loss (CLL) and Annular Pressure Loss (APL) to provide an over-balance pressure.
If the choke pressure is decreasing during pump start up, the deep water and/or slimhole techniques will be used,
which will compensate CLL and/or APL during kill. When the shut-in surface choke pressure is relatively low
however, it may be impossible to fully compensate CLL and/or APL. In this case, the choke pressure will reduce
to zero and the choke valve become wide-open during pump start up.

Displacing Drillpipe and Annulus with Kill Mud:


Once the pump has reached kill speed, the choke valve should be adjusted to control the drillpipe pressure so that
the bottom hole pressure is maintained constant. This means that:
~ During the 1st complete circulation using Driller's method, the drillpipe pressure be maintained constant at the
initial circulating pressure.
~ When kill weight mud is being pumped down the drillpipe (using either Driller's or W&W), the drillpipe pressure
be adjusted according to the standpipe pressure chart & table shown in the 2nd page of the kill sheet.
Once the kill mud has entered into the annulus, the drillpipe pressure should be maintained constant. However, at
some point when the annulus is being displaced by kill mud, or after the influx is out of hole, the choke valve
may become wide-open. From then on, drillpipe pressure will increase gradually while choke valve is kept at the
full open position. This will continue until the kill mud reaches the choke, at which drillpipe pressure should be equal
or close to the value shown in the "Kill Data" Section.

Complete Kill Operation:


~ When the kill mud has returned to surface, stop the pump and close the choke valve to check the drillpipe and
choke pressures.
~ If both drillpipe and choke pressures are zeros, start to implement procedures for removing the gas possibly
trapped in BOP stack. Then displace the riser annulus to kill mud.
~ Open the BOP and further flow-check the annulus.
~ A further complete circulation should be carried out. In the mean time, a suitable overbalance should be added
to the mud weight.

WELL CONTROL TOOLKIT 2002


Version 2002.1 Released January 2002

Well Control Toolkit 2000 is a collection of Excel worksheets designed for drilling engineers and rig-site
personnel to record data and perform calculations related to well control.
Hardware & software requirement:
A PC running under the BP Common Operating Environment (COE3) with Excel 2000.
To run Toolkit:
~ To open Toolkit: Same way as you would do with an Excel file.
~ When you first open Toolkit, the Main Menu will appear on the screen.
~ Click on a button in Main Menu to open a worksheet.
~ Upon finishing a worksheet, click on "Return to Menu" button in the worksheet.
All the worksheets have the following common features:
1. User can choose to use either UK (m, sg) or US (ft, ppg) units. The ability to convert units has been
added to the Common Data Input Sheet, however UK and US units cannot be mixed.
2. Easy to use: Just open a worksheet and input data into green cells, the results will be updated
automatically.
3. Data input is flexible: It can be done either in each of the worksheets directly, or imported from
"Common Data Input" sheet, or imported from a saved data file.
4. Some input cells have help-notes describing the input requirement. These cells have red triangle
on their top-right hand corners. Position and keep the prompt on the cell, the help-notes should
appear.
5. Critical inputs are automatically checked. If found unreasonable, error messages will appear.
6. Results are presented in both tabulated data and plots.
7. All data and plots are laid out such that they can be easily printed on letter-sized papers.
8. All plots are re-scaled automatically to fit input /output data range.

Common Data Input


"Common Data Input" (CDI) sheet is designed for entering well data, which can be then imported to
other worksheets. Use of this sheet to input data has following advantages:
1. It provides a single data input sheet for all other worksheets in Toolkit. So once this is filled in,
it takes only seconds to get results on kick tolerance, kill sheet, or casing pressure profiles, etc.
2. CDI sheet can be saved or imported separately from the Toolkit (top of sheet).
3. It is easier to input data into CDI. For example, there is no need to mentally work out how many
annular sizes based on casing and drillstring data. This will be done automatically when importing
data into kill sheets or casing annular pressure profile.
4. It allows visual checks on well profiles once MD/TVD data have been inputted at kick-off, end-build, etc.
5. The ability to convert units has been added, however UK and US units cannot be mixed.
6. The ability to save data from all the sheets (workbook) has been added (right side). This feature
will save or reimport data directly to the worksheets (includes data not included in the CDI).

1. KICK TOLERANCE CALCULATOR

296913644.xls

12/01/2015 06:18:49

Kick Tolerance Calculator (KTC) is designed to determine kick tolerance volumes, given well geometry
drilling parameters and hole condition. It can be used for vertical, deviated or horizontal wells.
The principles used in KTC are similar with those described in BP Well Control Manuals (Volume 1).
However, KTC includes the effects of bottom hole pressure / temperature on gas density (for methane
gas based on Hall & Yarborough's Equation of State). So it is more accurate, usually less conservative.
It can cope with many scenarios (e.g. shut-in influx length is longer or shorter than BHA, etc.).
Kick tolerance is defined as the maximum volume of kick influx that can be shut-in and
circulated out without breaking down the weak point formation.
Therefore, kick tolerance volume is determined based on two critical conditions:
~ When the influx is at the hole bottom under the initial shut-in condition.
~ When the influx top is displaced to the openhole weak point with the original mud weight.
It should be pointed out that, the pressure losses through annulus / choke lines and the possible choke
error are considered by assuming a Surface Pressure Safety Factor. Therefore, this surface pressure
safety factor should be the sum of:
1. A choke operator error margin (say 100 psi)
2. Pressure loss through the choke line.
For subsea BOPs, if the choke line pressure loss is to be compensated during kill by using
the kill sheet in this Toolkit, then it can be totally or partially ignored.
3) Pressure loss through the annulus above the openhole weak point.
In HPHT & ERD wells where there is a long casing & liner section, its annular pressure loss (APL)
can be high. If it is included in the pressure safety factor, kick tolerance volume will be significantly
reduced. In this case, APL should be compensated during kill by using the Kill Sheets in this Toolkit.
In the mean time, APL can be totally or partially ignored in kick tolerance calculations.
In some cases, the calculated volume extends from bottom hole to above the casing shoe, which implies
that the well can tolerate an unlimited volume of kick without breaking down the weak point formation.
This often occurs when the vertical height of the openhole section is relatively short. If this occurs in a
high angle or horizontal hole section where potential kick volume can be high, it is important to check
the maximum allowable gas volume based on the casing burst strength and pressure ratings of BOP
stack & choke manifold. This can be done in the 2nd page of the calculator.

2. PRESSURE LOSS CALCULATOR


Pressure Loss Calculator is designed to calculate pressure losses through choke lines and openhole
/ casing annuli. The methods are based on the simple models as described in "Applied Drilling
Engineering", SPE Textbook, 1986. The calculator can be used for:
~ Estimating the pressure safety factor in Kick Tolerance Calculator.
This has been described in the previous section.
~ Estimating the over-pressure during a conventional kill operation.
If a conventional method is used in a kill operation, the pressure loss through annulus is ignored to
provide an over-pressure at the kick zone to prevent further influx from coming into the wellbore. This
calculator can be used to estimate the magnitude of this over-pressure.
~ Estimating the annular pressure loss in small hole drilling.
When hole size is relatively small (e.g. < 6"), the annular pressure loss may be high. If ignored as in

296913644.xls

a conventional kill method, the high annular pressure loss may cause formation breaking down. In this
case, the special well control technique should be used, which will compensate the annular pressure
loss. The kill sheets as described in the following will facilitate the implementation of the technique.

3. KILL SHEET
For Vertical / Deviated Wells With Surface BOPs
The Kill Sheet is designed to record data during drilling operations and to perform kill calculations when
a well has been shut-in on a kick.
This kill sheet can be used for:
~ Land or offshore rigs with surface BOPs.
~ Vertical, deviated or horizontal wells (Straight, L- or S-shaped holes).
~ Conventional or small hole sizes
~ Single- or dual-sized drillpipe strings (plus HWDPs and DCs).
~ Gas, oil or water kicks.
Kill Techniques
This kill sheet incorporates both the conventional kill techniques (Drillers or W&W), where annular
pressure loss (APL) is ignored, and the special kill technique where APL will be compensated. The
advantage of the special kill technique is that it will result in lower wellbore pressures during kill , thus
minimising the risk of formation breakdown at the weak point. This is particularly important in ERD,
HPHT or small hole wells where APL can be high due to long / small casing annulus.
Before deciding on which kill technique to use, APL is calculated using two alternative methods:
~ Based on SCR test data, where APL is obtained by subtracting the string and bit losses from the SCR
pump pressure. This method is often more accurate when APL is relatively high (e.g. in small holes).
~ Direct calculation, where APL is calculated based on annular sizes and mud properties. This is
often more accurate when APL is relatively low (e.g. in conventional hole sizes).
Based on the above APL values, user can input an "Accepted APL" in the "Pressure Losses" section.
A suitable kill technique will then be selected:
~ If APL <= 150 psi, the conventional technique will be used where APL is ignored;
You can choose to ignore APL in any case by keeping the "Accepted APL" cell blank.
~ If APL > 150 psi and SICP is sufficiently high, then the special kill technique will be used to
compensate APL during kill. User will be required to select an over-balance safety factor in the
"Kill Data" section.
~ If APL > 150 psi but SICP is low, then APL can only be partially compensated.
The actual kill technique to be used will be displayed below the "Pressure Losses" section.
Kill Procedures:
At the end of the kill sheet (page 3), some guidance is also given on kill procedures and how to use the
kill sheet, etc.

4. KILL SHEET
For Vertical / Deviated Wells With Subsea BOPs
This kill sheet is designed for deep water drilling with subsea BOPs. It can be used to record data
during drilling operations, and to perform kill calculations.
The kick sheet is designed for:

296913644.xls

Page 28 of 6

12/01/2015 06:18:49

~ Offshore floating rigs where there are long choke /kill lines from the subsea BOP to rig floor.
~ Vertical, deviated or horizontal wells (Straight, L- or S-shaped holes).
~ Conventional or small hole sizes
~ Single- or dual-sized drillpipe strings (plus HWDPs and DCs).
~ Gas, oil or water kicks.
The major difference between kill calculations for surface and subsea BOPs is in the choke line
loss (CLL). On a land or an offshore fixed rig with surface BOPs, CLL is usually low at kill pump rates
and can be ignored during kill operations. On a floating rig with subsea BOPs however, CLL can be
significantly higher. If ignored, it can result in excessive pressures in the wellbore and the consequence
of formation breaking down at the open hole weak point. The deep water kill technique should be used
in this case to compensate the CLL.
In this kill sheet, CLL is first calculated. Based on the calculated value and perhaps other rig-site tests,
user can then input an accepted CLL for compensation during kill. This is done in the "Pressure Losses"
section of the kill sheet. The Annular pressure loss (APL) can also be compensated if it is high. This
is done in a similar way as in the previous kill sheet for Surface BOPs.
Kill Techniques:
Once user has defined the accepted choke line loss (CLL) and annular pressure loss (APL) in "Pressure
Losses" section, a suitable kill technique will be selected:
A. If CLL <=100psi and APL <= 100psi, both CLL and APL will be ignored. In this case, the conventional
vertical / high angle kill technique will be used.
You can choose to ignore both APL and CLL in any case by keeping the "Accepted APL" and
"Accepted CLL" cells blank.
B. If CLL > 100psi but APL <= 100psi, the deep water kill technique will be used to compensate CLL
and APL will be ignored. When SICP is low (after choke line has been displaced to mud), however,
CLL may be only partially compensated.
C. If CLL <= 100psi but APL > 100 psi, the slimhole kill technique will be used to compensate APL
and CLL will be ignored. When SICP is low (after choke line has been displaced to mud), however,
APL may be only partially compensated.
D. If CLL > 100 psi and APL > 100psi, the combination of deep water and slimhole kill techniques will
be used to compensate both CLL and APL. User will be required to select an over-balance safety
factor in the "Kill Data" section. If SICP is low (after choke line has been displaced to mud), however,
CLL and APL will be only partially compensated.
The actual kill technique to be used will be displayed above the "Kill Data" section.
Kill Procedures:
At the end of the kill sheet (page 3), some guidance is also given on kill procedures and how to use the
kill sheet, etc.

5. VOLUMETRIC CONTROL SHEETS


The volumetric control techniques are used during well shut-in period to control gas expansion due to
migration. The purposes of the techniques are to:
1) Maintain the bottom hole pressure above the formation pressure to prevent further influx, and
2) Control the bottom hole pressure below a preset limit to prevent formation breakdown.
For swabbed kicks, the techniques can be used as the final kill. For under-balanced kicks, however,
the techniques only provide a temporary measure to control the wellbore pressure. The final kill can
only be achieved by circulating kill mud into the hole. Therefore the techniques are only used when
circulating kill is impossible due to pumps breakdown, string washout, plugged bit nozzles or string

296913644.xls

off-bottom, etc. Also it is worthwhile to mention that volumetric control of an influx is only necessary
when the influx contains free-gas which is migrating up the annulus.
Three techniques are included in the Toolkit:
1) Volumetric control using drillpipe pressure gauge
This is a relatively simple and accurate technique to control gas expansion. It should be used
when there is communication between drillpipe pressure gauge and the wellbore annulus.
2) Volumetric control using choke pressure gauge
This technique is a less reliable technique for controlling gas expansion. So it is only used when
use of DP pressure is impossible due to string washout, plugged nozzles or string off-bottom, etc.
3) Static Lubrication
The technique is used to vent gas from beneath BOP stack (both surface and subsea).
For more detailed information about the volumetric control techniques, please refer to:
BP Well Control Manuals, Vol.I, Chapter 6, Section 2.

6. CASING PRESSURE PROFILES


This spreadsheet program is designed to calculate the casing pressure profiles at the casing shoe
and surface when displacing a given volume of gas influx to surface. The calculations are based on
the following assumptions:
1) The influx is free gas.
For mixed influxes (gas/oil/water), only the gas component is considered.
2) The influx is a single gas bubble.
Calculations based on this assumption usually give higher pressures and thus, it is conservative.
3) The mud displacing the influx has the original mud weight (Driller's method). If kill mud weight
was used (Wait & Weight method), the casing shoe and surface pressures may be lower.
Therefore, the pressure predictions from this program will be conservative.

UNIT CONVERTER
All the worksheets in this Toolkit have been designed for both the UK (m.sg) and US (ft.ppg) oil
industry units. This should cover most of the world-wide operations within BP. However, if you find
any units used in your local operations are different from those in the worksheets, then this unit
Converter can be used to convert your local units into either the UK or US units.
