             Well Control
  Shallow gas and Subsea Well Control
Read
• Well Control Manual
  – Chapter 10,15
Shallow Gas
• Many shallow gas sands are abnormally
  pressured
• Total pressure (psi) may be low high EMW
  – e.g. FP = 452 psi (8.7 ppg eq.) at 1000’
  – Drill with 9.0 ppg mud - 0.3 ppg overbalanced
    only 16 psi = 35’ of fluid
Shallow Gas
• If we shut-in on kick
• we lose circulation
  and possibly broach to
  surface
Shallow Gas Kicks
• Pick up Kelly until lower kelly cock clears
  rotary
• Shut down pumps
• Check for flow
• If flowing, open the down wind diverter
  valve
• Close annular
Shallow Gas Kicks
• Start circulating heavy mud with both
  pumps
• If all heavy mud used up, pump all mud in
  mud pits
• When this mud is gone, pump sea water
• Continue until well is under control
  – may deplete
  – or bridge
Subsea Well Control
• Floating rigs
• BOP stack on sea floor
• Communication from the wellbore to
  surface through riser
Subsea Well control

Kill Line               Choke Line
                        Booster Line


                        BOP
Subsea Well control
• Riser is not designed to contain pressure
• If the riser is evacuated, it will collapse
• There is a telescoping joint at the top
• Choke and kill lines to circulate kicks
  through
• PVT and flow indicators affected by heave
  of vessel
Effect of choke and kill line
•   Possibly high CLFP during kicks
•   u-tube effect as gas hits choke line
•   Gas in top of BOP stack
•   Kill riser after killing well
