You calculate the maximum initial shut-in casing pressure (MISICP) based on the original
mud weight before you start drilling ahead. Once you drill deeper, you may increase mud
weight. With new mud weight, you are not able to use the MASICP calculated by the
initial weight because higher mud weight will reduce the MASCIP. The formula below
demonstrates you how to adjust the MASICP with new mud weight.
Where;
Leak off pressure = pressure you get when you perform leak off test in psi
Casing shoe depth is at 5000’MD/4500’TVD. Leak off test is performed with 9.5 ppg and
the leak off pressure is 1000 psi. The current operation is drilling ahead with 12.0 ppg.
Determine the adjusted MASCIP with current mud weight.
