BULLHEAD KILLSHEET INSTRUCTIONS

The goal of this program is to provide an automated method for completing a killsheet. It has the flexibility
of printing a blank killsheet if you wish to enter data by hand. The Bullhead killsheet consists of 2 pages
developed to support operations in the field. The pages are set up as follows:

Daily Recorded Operational Field Data / Bullhead Well Control Checklist (page 1 of 2)
The Daily Recorded Operational Field Data section on the left side of the page is information from
various entities (historic, office and field) gathered for a specific well to successfully complete the
bullhead operation. It contains the well geometry, formation pressures, fluids and pump information.
The Bullhead Well Control Checklist section on the top right, contains surface pressures, rate to kill
well, bullhead depths and kill fluid density. The bottom right section sums up the calculations from page
two and contains the volumes, gallons, strokes, and minutes needed to kill the well.

Bullhead Well Control Calculations (page 2 of 2)


This page has been developed to fit the required well control calculations on a single page in a
systematic order.
This page consists of calculations for kill fluid density, tubular and annular volumes, perforations and
over-displacement considerations and formation and pressure considerations.

The killsheet is designed in Microsoft Excel 2003 Version. If you are not familiar with Excel, here are a few
tips in moving about this form:
1. Do not use the Enter key after entering data in a required cell. Instead, use the arrow keys or the
mouse to reach the next blank cell.
2. The sheet is designed in columns. Begin data entry in the top of the left column and enter data until
you reach the bottom of the page. Then, use the mouse to move to the top of the next column or
section to be completed.
3. Blank cells are only used for data entry. All others have been protected to prevent change.
4. To move from page to page use the mouse and click on page tabs at the bottom of each page.
5. These killsheet pages have been designed to print (blank or completed) on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
You can print saved pages individually by choosing Print from the File drop down menu. Or, you can
print the entire saved file by highlighting the saved file, clicking the right mouse button and clicking on
Print.

Please remember to use the “save as” feature when sheets are completed so that the blank master form is
not written over with data. It is helpful to save each completed killsheet with the date in the file name for
later reference.

Generally, no further user information is required. However, if you are not familiar with Excel or completing
killsheets, step by step data entry instructions follow.

Steps to Completing the Killsheets

1. Data entry on this form should begin in the upper left hand side of the sheet.

2. Enter Bullhead data in the blank cells as follows:

3. Location -- Enter your work location and press the tab key to move to the next cell.

4. Well # -- Enter your rig/unit/platform number.

5. Using the mouse, click on the cell named Casing OD and enter data. Use the down arrow button on
your keyboard to get to the next cell requiring data.

6. On the cell named Safety Factor , select the percentage by choosing the correct number from the
drop down list and click the left mouse button. The Internal Yield will then be calculated and
entered automatically by the program. The cursor will then move to the next blank cell
automatically.

7. In the section called Tubing , continue data entry until you reach the Safety Factor cell and repeat
the steps above.

8. Enter data until you have completed the Perforations section at the bottom of the page.

9. Use the mouse to move to the top of the page and enter the Test Rating .

10. Then use the mouse to move to the next column and cell named Surface Line Volume . Continue
using the down arrow key to move to the next blank cell and enter data until you reach the bottom of
the page.

11. Use the arrow keys to move down, completing the following sections: Pumps, Formation, Annular
Fluid, Circulating Port and Packer. From there, use the mouse to move to the right hand side of
the page called Bullhead Well Control Checklist .

12. Use the mouse to move up to the right hand side of the page called
Bullhead Well Control
Checklist and enter the Shut In Tubing and Shut In Casing Pressure data for that well.

13. Enter the data to complete the Bullhead Pump Rate to Kill Well section.

14. Enter the data to complete the Bullhead Depth to Kill Well section (perforations) including the
Overdisplacement to kill well data.

15. Enter the data to complete the Depth to Calculate Kill Fluid Density section.

The remainder of the page below the red section (calculations on page 2) will be automatically calculated.

Click on the tab marked Bullhead Calc and notice that the calculations on the second page have been
automatically performed and the killsheet is complete.

Please remember to use the “save as” feature when sheets are completed so that the blank master form is
not written over with data. It is helpful to save each completed killsheet with the date in the file name for
