Well Control
The Basic Concept, in 5 Minutes
1. While drilling, mud is used to "sit on” the formation pressures encountered
4. ….while mud is mixed to a heavier density to "sit on " the higher pressure
encountered
5. Need to pump the heavier mud down to the bottom of the well to "sit on" the
pressure while at the same time allowing only some of the light mud out of the
well bore
When we move to offshore drilling the BOP stack is placed on the bottom of the
ocean. The choke manifold remains on the vessel Our connections between the
two units must now be extended all the way from the seabed to the vessel. This
allows us to confine high pressure to the casing under the BOP stack. The riser
leading up to the vessel can then be low pressure. But, wait, we also have a
choke and kill line leading up from the subsea stack to the vessel mounted
choke manifold. When circulating out a kick this line will see high pressure so it
must be made the same pressure rating as the BOP stack.
1. The upper portion of the BOP stack is called the Lower Marine Riser
Package (LMRP). The LMRP is actually on the bottom of the riser when it is
disconnected, and thus it gets its name.
2. The term Blowout Preventer (BOP) refers to the bottom section (lower half) of
the stack, while some people use the term to refer to the entire stack, in
addition to the LMRP. Watch out.

gimbal on the PGB bottoms out on the TGB cone. The 30" casing is then cemented
with returns to the sea floor.
c) Mud Mat-
After the jetting string is run inside the 30" casing and the 30" housing running tool is
engaged, the entire assembly is run to the seabed to begin the jetting operation.
The jetting operation is stopped when the mud mat lands on the sea floor and
positive string weight is observed. The 30" housing running tool is then released
and retrieved along with the jetting string. Cementing is generally not required as
formation friction is sufficient to keep the 30" casing in place.
wellhead where it latches. Dump valves are usually placed on the 30" latch head to
allow flooding of the riser if it should be loaded with gas during a kick. Due to the
lack of suitable foundation under the 30" casing, the well can not be closed in if a
kick is encountered. The diverter is closed and the well allowed to flow until it
depletes itself. Diverting a kick is probably one of the most dangerous operations
on a drilling rig. An alternate action is to disconnect the pin connector rather than
attempting to divert the kick. The 26" hole is displaced with gel-water and the bit
pulled after the hole has reached the required casing depth.
The 18 ¾" 10,000 psi or 15,000 psi well head housing is installed on top of the 20"
casing. The wellhead is designed with load rings to land on and ribbed extensions
to centralize it in the 30" wellhead. The wellhead is designed for the required
number of casing and tubing hangers to complete the well. Most systems allow the
use of 3 or 4 hangers. The upper connection of the wellhead housing is designed to
latch the connector of the subsea blowout preventer stack. The Cameron wellhead
and connector system use an AX gasket profile, while the Vetco system uses the
VX connector gasket and Dril Quip uses the DX gasket. None of the gaskets are
interchangeable.
The wellhead and 20" casing are lowered to the sea bed as an assembly with the
wellhead running tool on drill pipe latched into the wellhead. The shoe of the 20"
casing is guided into the 30" wellhead with breakaway guide arms or with rope and
shackles. As the 20" high pressure wellhead lands in the 30" housing, it latches in
place becoming rigidly attached to the 30" wellhead housing. The 20" casing is
cemented in place with returns taken to the sea floor.
After the 18 ¾" wellhead is landed and cemented in place, the subsea BOP stack
can be run and drilling the 17 ½" hole for 13 5/8" casing can commence with the
protection of a BOP stack.

MS-700 Family of Subsea Wellheads
Able to test the BOP stack at any time - before or after running
hangers, wear bushings, or nominal seat protectors
Able to conduct a full stack pressure test with the Isolation Test
Tool while the nominal seat protector is in place
The newest members of the MS-700 Family of Subsea Wellheads are the High Capacity HC MS-700
and the S uper high capacity SMS-700. These wellheads were specifically designed for the rigorous
demands of the deep water, high pressure wells being drilled today with the future in mind.
Both the wellhead housing and each hanger have a sealing area of parallel “wickers”, or V-grooves. After
the seal is positioned, it is set by forcing the energizing ring between the metal “U” seal, expanding it into
the wicker profiles. This expansion causes the wickers to bite into the softer metal of the seal, and imparts
energy into the hanger neck and housing body to preload each wicker interface higher than the rated
pressure. The “biting” action can fully seal, even with serious damage to both the seal and wickers. In
essence, a 1 inch wide band of wickers offers multiple independent metal seals which together form the
primary all-metal seal. This action yields a long term seal that cannot lose elastic energy due to
temperature extremes or exposure to corrosive fluids.
When the High Pressure (HP) housing and 20" casing string are run, the
housing lands out and latches into the internal profile of the conductor
housing. At initial contact of the housings, full engagement is achieved at High Pressure
the upper socket. As the rig slacks weight off the drillstring, the weight of Housing
the 20" casing string displaces the HP housing downward until contact
occurs at the lower socket. The tapered socket interface design of the Latch Assembly
housings provides high bending load capacity for most applications.
Tapered Socket
For high current conditions or deepwater service, the Bootstrap tool may Profile
be used to further improve fatigue resistance.After the casing is cemented
and the running tool is released from the housing, two simple overpulls of MS-1 Seal
the drillstring actuate the Bootstrap tool. The tool “bootstraps” the two
housings together with 1.2 million pounds of force to achieve full surface Low Pressure
contact at both tapered sockets, ensuring that all bending loads are Conductor
transmitted directly into the conductor housing and carried fully by the
conductor string. One more pull on the drillstring releases the tool for

recovery to the surface, leaving the wellhead rated for maximum bending
loads and ready for completion.

To help meet the demanding requirements of the deepwater market, ABB Vetco Gray incorporated the features of the
standard latch into a high capacity releasable design which can be retracted and recovered subsea. This feature gives our
customers the capability to recover HP housings after they have been bootstrapped and improves flexibility during
abandonment operations.

Given:
3.1416
Π = 3.1416 , then = .7854
4
Then:
(
.7854 D 2 − d 2 )
To Calculate the Volume of a given Annulus Area:
Given:
There are 144 cubic feet per foot of hole depth
Then:
Volume in Barrels =
(
.7854 D 2 − d 2 ) or
(D −d2
