What are the three steps of an LMRA?

STOP to recognize risks

THINK of ways to control the risks

ACT to perform the work safely

What type of drilling conditions can make kick detection more difficult for the driller

Drilling low permeability formation with oilbased

fluids

100

How does increasing pressure affect non-aqueous (oil-based) mud density

Increases density

Show me the formula for bottoms up in bbls.

ID- OD2 / 1029.4 x Depth= BBLS

200

Whats the capacity for oil the air compressor?

2 Gallons

200

What is the focus of PSMS?

To eliminate Life Altering Injury.

200

What causes gas to break out of solution in an Oil Based Mud (OBM

The decrease in hydrostatic pressure above the gas when it gets close to surface

200

How does increasing wellbore temperature affect well control when using non-aqueous (oil-based) mud?

Decreases hydrostatic pressure in wellbore

200

Show me the formula for getting Pump Output.

(Liner size)2 x (stroke length)2  x (.000243) X.95= output 

300

Gear oil Capacity on TDS

15 gallons

300

What is our Target Area?

Line Of Fire 

300

While preparing to circulate Kill Weight Mud, the gas bubble begins to migrate. If no action is taken, what will happen to bottom hole pressure?

Increase

300

The formation permeability, and the differential pressure between mud hydrostatic and formation pressure, will affect the speed of the influx into the well. Which of the conditions below are likely to give the largest influx over the same period of time?

High permeability formation with a high differential pressure

Show me how to figure out what we test to for a FIT. 

Testing to MW - current MW x TVD x 0.052

400

Hydraulic oil capacity on tds 

25 gallons

Once a trigger is observed what two steps must you take?

1) Stop Work 

2) Use LMRA to evaluate and mitigate the hazard

400

What will influence the test pressure recorded during a leak-off test?

Mud density in the well

400

Why must you leave spare capacity in the active pit system when circulating out a kick?

If the kick is gas it will expand and pit level

will increase.

400

show me the formula for finding out kill mud weight.

(SIDPP, psi ÷ .052 ÷ TVD, ft) + Mud Wt, ppg

gear oil capacity on mud pumps 

85 gals

What is AAR? What are the 4 Questions?

AAR- After Action Review: brief learning process conducted immediately after completing LAI potential task or critical action.

1.What was supposed to happen?

2.What actually happened?

3.What were the differences?

4.What can we learn?

After pulling 33 stands, the well starts flowing and is shut-in. Assume that the influx is at the bottom of the hole and there is no gas migrations. What will happen to casing pressure as the drill string is stripped into the influx?

Increase
