Kick Data :
Mud Weight 10.85 ppg
Kick depth 14370 ft., MD (5250 ft., TVD)

Questions ( Surface BOP stack)
1. What is the pressure safety margin at the casing shoe with the well shut in?
2. How many strokes to pump from surface to bit?
3. What is the initial circulating pressure?
4. What is the final circulating pressure?
5. How many strokes to pump from surface to kick-off point depth?
6. What is the circulating pressure at the kick off point?
7. How many strokes to pump from surface to the end of build depth?
8. What is the circulating pressure at the end of build depth?
9. Calculate the pressure drop per 100 strokes of kill fluid pumped inside the string from the
end of build depth to the bit.
10. Calculate the MAASP (Maximum Allowable Annular Surface Pressure) after circulation of Kill
Mud.
11. If we neglected the directional nature of the well and decided to use a conventional Vertical
Well Kill Sheet to remove the influx, calculate the pressure over balance at the end of build
depth.
12. What will be the consequences of this overbalance in the well bore?
