DESIGN A GUIDANCE FOR WELL CONTROL IN DRILLING PROCESS

This report focused on well control aspects and well control issues happened in
oil and gas industry. The objective that will be achieved through this project is to design
a guidance for control the well during drilling process that describes well control
activities and system to ensure minimal operational time and risk exposure to personnel,
process, production and equipment. The scopes of study for this project revolved around
simulate the well control scenario and evaluate the performance of different kind of
well control procedures during kick and blowout. The area of study involved
fundamental principles of well control, kick causes, kick indicators, shut-in procedures,
well control equipment and procedures. After running the simulation, the result
obtained were analyzed and discussed. The investigation revolved around effectiveness
of driller's method, time for execution the whole kick-killing procedure, kill rate, flow
check analysis, estimate circulation density and kick tolerance. The project
methodology and activities have been designed to achieve the objective. The required
simulation software and equipment also have been described in this report in
methodology part. The project simulation work design and procedures were explained.
All the result data, analysis, findings and lastly some recommendations presented at the
end of this report.
