Answer: b
2) A kicking well has been shut in. The drill pipe pressure is ‘0’ because there is a non-return valve (https://www.arab-oil-
naturalgas.com/what-are-the-types-of-valves/) ( oat) in the string. To establish the SIDPP, what action should be taken?
a) Shearing the pipe and reading the SIDPP directly o the casing gauge
b) Pump at kill rate into the drill string with the well shut in. When casing pressure starts to rise, read the pump pressure. This is the SIDPP.
c) Pump very slowly into the drill pipe with the well shut in. When the pumping pressure stabilizes, the oat has opened. This pumping
pressure is the SIDPP.
d) Bring the pump up to the kill rate holding the casing pressure constant by opening the choke (https://www.arab-oil-naturalgas.com/what-
does-choke-valve-mean/). The pressure shown when the pump is at kill rate is the SIDPP.
Answer: b
3) After circulating out a kick using the driller’s method (no weight up), are the SICP and SIDPP about the same?
Answer: Yes

4) A gas kick is being circulated up the well. What is the surface pit volume most likely to do?
a) Increase
b) Stay the same
c) Decrease
Answer: a
5) On a surface stack, what would happen if when bringing the pumps up to kill speed, the casing pressure was allowed to fall below
shut in casing pressure?
Answer: b
6) For each of the following statements, note whether it relates to the Drillers Method or the Wait and Weight Method.
Answer:
a. W&W
b. Driller
c. W&W
d. Driller
7) Which one of the following actions taken while stripping into the hole will help to maintain an acceptable bottom hole pressure?
a) Pumping a volume of mud into the well, equal to the drill pipe closed end displacement at regular intervals.
b) Bleeding o the drill pipe steel displacement at regular intervals.
c) Pumping a volume of mud into the well, equal to the drill pipe steel displacement, at regular intervals
d) Bleeding o the drill pipe closed end displacement at regular intervals
Answer: d
a) There is no di erence between using the Drillers method and the Wait and Weight method.
b) If the kill mud is being circulated up the annulus before the kick has reached the shoe then Wait and Weight method will reduce the risk of
breaking down the formation compared to using the Drillers method.
c) The Wait and Weight method should always be used because the pressure against the open hole will always be lower when using the
Drillers method.
Answer: b

10) How is the Initial Circulating Pressure found on a land rig or a jack-up, when the slow pump rate circulating pressure is not
known but a kick has been taken?
a) Circulate at desired strokes per minute to circulate out the kick, but hold 200 psi back pressure on drill pipe side with choke.
b) Add 400 psi to casing pressure and bring pump up to kill rate while using the choke to keep the casing pressure +400 constant.
c) Bring pump strokes up to kill rate while keeping casing pressure constant by manipulating the choke, observed pump pressure is ICP.
d) Add 1000 psi to shut in drill pipe pressure and circulate out the kick.

Answer: b
12) On the second circulation of the Driller’s method, if the casing pressure was held constant until the kill mud reached Surface,
what would happen to the bottom hole pressure?
a) Increase.
b) Decrease.
c) Stay the same.
Answer: a
13) Using Wait and Weight method, if the drill pipe pressure drops below the line of the graph as the kill mud goes down, what
happens to the bottom hole pressure?
a) Increases.
b) Decreases.
c) Stays the same.

Answer: a
16) If the slow pump circulating pressure was not known, and a kick has been taken with the well closed in, how would you nd the
ICP?
a) Bring pump up to the desired rate, while holding the casing pressure 150 psi above the original SICP.
b) Bring pump up to desired rate, but hold 200 psi back pressure on the drill pipe.
c) Bring pump up to the desired rate holding casing pressure constant by manipulating the hydraulic choke.
d) Circulate at desired kill rate but hold casing pressure 100 psi below MAASP.
Answer: c
