You are circulating out a gas kick using the Wait and Weight Method. What will happen to
bottomhole pressure in each of the following situations.
If drillpipe pressure is held constant while mud is being pumped to the bit..
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Stay the Same correct answers A) Increase
You are circulating out a gas kick using the Wait and Weight Method. What will happen to
bottomhole pressure in each of the following situations.
If drillpipe pressure is held constant while kill weight mud is being pumped up the annulus..
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Stay the Same correct answers C) Stay the Same (kill fluid is increasing BHP while gas is
decreasing BHP)
You are circulating out a gas kick using the Wait and Weight Method. What will happen to
bottomhole pressure in each of the following situations.
If SPM is increase and drillpipe pressure is held constant..
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Stay the Same correct answers B) Decrease (pressure on the DP side is being held constant
high rate is increase causing an increase is frictional pressure loss and therefore a decrease in
BHP)
, You are circulating out a gas kick using the Wait and Weight Method. What will happen to
bottomhole pressure in each of the following situations.
If the gas bubble is not allowed to expand..
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Stay the Same correct answers A) Increase (adding a kick into the system is inherently going
to increase the BHP. Surface pressure will rise as the bubble migrates towards the surface)
While killing a well, as pump speed is increased from 0 SPM to the kill rate, what should the
choke operator do to casing pressure to keep BHP constant?
A) Casing pressure should be held steady during SPM change
B) Casing pressure should be allowed to rise during SPM change
C) Casing pressure should be allowed to fall during SPM change correct answers A) Casing
pressure should be held steady during SPM change (Drillers method and Engineers method
"slowly bring up pumps to desired rate while holding casing pressure constant")
A gas bubble is migrating in your well. There is no float in the drillstring. What will happen to
SIDPP and SICP?
A) Increase
B) Stay the Same
C) Decrease correct answers A) Increase (no float means gas can enter both the annulus and the
DP which will cause both to increase in pressure)
A gas kick is being circulated up the hole. What is surface pit volume most likely to do?
A) Increase
B) Stay the Same
C) Decrease correct answers A) Increase (gas expanding, pushing more and more fluid out)
