This document contains a drilling application for calculating the maximum expected pit gain and casing pressure from a potential gas kick. It lists input parameters like formation pressure, bit size, drill pipe size, kick depth, and mud weights. The calculations shown use these inputs to determine the square root of terms involving formation pressure, kick size, annular capacity, and mud weights to estimate the maximum pit gain and casing pressure based on principles from the 1997 Manual for WCS Well Control School.

Microsoft Excel 97 Date: December 7, 2021 MAX MAX CASING CASING PSI PSI and and PIT PIT GAIN GAIN FROM FROM A A GAS GAS KICK KICK MAX PIT GAIN and MAX CASING PSI INFORMATION RESULTS Kick Size, bbls Formation Pressure, psi 0 Bit or Hole Size, in Annular Capacity, bbl/1000' 0.0 Drill or Workstring OD, in Estimated Max Casing Pressure, psi #DIV/0! Kill Mud Weight, ppg Estimated Max Pit Gain, bbl #DIV/0! Kick Depth TVD, ft Reference: '97 Manual for WCS Well Control School THE END Calculations… Max Pit Gain = 4 x SQRT(((Formation PSI ÷ 1000) ÷ Kick Size x Annular Capacity bbl/1000') ÷ Kill Mud Weight)) Max Casing Pressure = 200 x SQRT(((Formation PSI ÷ 1000) x Kick Size x Kill Mud Weight) ÷ Annular Capacity bbl/1000'))
