This document provides calculations for a subsea kill operation on a drilling project. It includes details of the well geometry like total vertical depth, shoe depth, drill pipe and drill collar lengths. It calculates volumes from surface to bit, bit to surface, and total well system volume. It also determines equivalent mud weight, injection control pressure, kill mud weight, and number of pump strokes needed to displace the kill mud.
