If choke pressure in the above table is constant, the conventional kill method will be used, which will ignore
Annular Pressure Loss (APL) to provide an over-balance pressure.
If choke pressure is decreasing during pump start up, the slimhole technique will be used, which will compensate
APL during kill. When APL is relatively high however, it may be impossible to fully compensate APL. In this
case, the choke pressure will reduce to zero and the choke valve become wide-open during pump start up.
Once the kill mud has entered into the annulus, the DP pressure should be maintained constant. However, at
some point when the annulus is being displaced by kill mud, or after the influx is out of hole, the choke valve
may become wide-open. From then on, DP pressure will increase gradually while choke valve is kept at
the full open position. This will continue until the kill mud reaches the choke, at which DP pressure should be
equal or close to the value shown in the "Kill Data" Section.

Version 2002.1 Released January 2002
Well Control Toolkit 2000 is a collection of Excel worksheets designed for drilling engineers and rig-site
personnel to record data and perform calculations related to well control.
To run Toolkit:
~ To open Toolkit: Same way as you would do with an Excel file.
~ When you first open Toolkit, the Main Menu will appear on the screen.
~ Click on a button in Main Menu to open a worksheet.
~ Upon finishing a worksheet, click on "Return to Menu" button in the worksheet.
drilling parameters and hole condition. It can be used for vertical, deviated or horizontal wells.
The principles used in KTC are similar with those described in BP Well Control Manuals (Volume 1).
However, KTC includes the effects of bottom hole pressure / temperature on gas density (for methane
gas based on Hall & Yarborough's Equation of State). So it is more accurate, usually less conservative.
It can cope with many scenarios (e.g. shut-in influx length is longer or shorter than BHA, etc.).
Kick tolerance is defined as the maximum volume of kick influx that can be shut-in and
circulated out without breaking down the weak point formation.
Therefore, kick tolerance volume is determined based on two critical conditions:
~ When the influx is at the hole bottom under the initial shut-in condition.
~ When the influx top is displaced to the openhole weak point with the original mud weight.
It should be pointed out that, the pressure losses through annulus / choke lines and the possible choke
error are considered by assuming a Surface Pressure Safety Factor. Therefore, this surface pressure
safety factor should be the sum of:
1. A choke operator error margin (say 100 psi)
2. Pressure loss through the choke line.
For subsea BOPs, if the choke line pressure loss is to be compensated during kill by using
the kill sheet in this Toolkit, then it can be totally or partially ignored.
3) Pressure loss through the annulus above the openhole weak point.
In HPHT & ERD wells where there is a long casing & liner section, its annular pressure loss (APL)
can be high. If it is included in the pressure safety factor, kick tolerance volume will be significantly
reduced. In this case, APL should be compensated during kill by using the Kill Sheets in this Toolkit.
In the mean time, APL can be totally or partially ignored in kick tolerance calculations.
In some cases, the calculated volume extends from bottom hole to above the casing shoe, which implies
that the well can tolerate an unlimited volume of kick without breaking down the weak point formation.
This often occurs when the vertical height of the openhole section is relatively short. If this occurs in a
high angle or horizontal hole section where potential kick volume can be high, it is important to check
the maximum allowable gas volume based on the casing burst strength and pressure ratings of BOP
stack & choke manifold. This can be done in the 2nd page of the calculator.
3. KILL SHEET
For Vertical / Deviated Wells With Surface BOPs
The Kill Sheet is designed to record data during drilling operations and to perform kill calculations when
a well has been shut-in on a kick.
Kill Techniques
This kill sheet incorporates both the conventional kill techniques (Drillers or W&W), where annular
pressure loss (APL) is ignored, and the special kill technique where APL will be compensated. The
advantage of the special kill technique is that it will result in lower wellbore pressures during kill , thus
minimising the risk of formation breakdown at the weak point. This is particularly important in ERD,
HPHT or small hole wells where APL can be high due to long / small casing annulus.
Before deciding on which kill technique to use, APL is calculated using two alternative methods:
~ Based on SCR test data, where APL is obtained by subtracting the string and bit losses from the SCR
pump pressure. This method is often more accurate when APL is relatively high (e.g. in small holes).
~ Direct calculation, where APL is calculated based on annular sizes and mud properties. This is
often more accurate when APL is relatively low (e.g. in conventional hole sizes).
Based on the above APL values, user can input an "Accepted APL" in the "Pressure Losses" section.
A suitable kill technique will then be selected:
~ If APL <= 150 psi, the conventional technique will be used where APL is ignored;
You can choose to ignore APL in any case by keeping the "Accepted APL" cell blank.
~ If APL > 150 psi and SICP is sufficiently high, then the special kill technique will be used to
compensate APL during kill. User will be required to select an over-balance safety factor in the
"Kill Data" section.
~ If APL > 150 psi but SICP is low, then APL can only be partially compensated.
The actual kill technique to be used will be displayed below the "Pressure Losses" section.
Kill Procedures:
At the end of the kill sheet (page 3), some guidance is also given on kill procedures and how to use the
kill sheet, etc.
4. KILL SHEET
For Vertical / Deviated Wells With Subsea BOPs
This kill sheet is designed for deep water drilling with subsea BOPs. It can be used to record data
during drilling operations, and to perform kill calculations.
The major difference between kill calculations for surface and subsea BOPs is in the choke line
525157736.xls Page 17 of 6 05/23/2021 23:39:32
loss (CLL). On a land or an offshore fixed rig with surface BOPs, CLL is usually low at kill pump rates
and can be ignored during kill operations. On a floating rig with subsea BOPs however, CLL can be
significantly higher. If ignored, it can result in excessive pressures in the wellbore and the consequence
of formation breaking down at the open hole weak point. The deep water kill technique should be used
in this case to compensate the CLL.
In this kill sheet, CLL is first calculated. Based on the calculated value and perhaps other rig-site tests,
user can then input an accepted CLL for compensation during kill. This is done in the "Pressure Losses"
section of the kill sheet. The Annular pressure loss (APL) can also be compensated if it is high. This
is done in a similar way as in the previous kill sheet for Surface BOPs.
Kill Techniques:
Once user has defined the accepted choke line loss (CLL) and annular pressure loss (APL) in "Pressure
Losses" section, a suitable kill technique will be selected:
A. If CLL <=100psi and APL <= 100psi, both CLL and APL will be ignored. In this case, the conventional
vertical / high angle kill technique will be used.
You can choose to ignore both APL and CLL in any case by keeping the "Accepted APL" and
"Accepted CLL" cells blank.
B. If CLL > 100psi but APL <= 100psi, the deep water kill technique will be used to compensate CLL
and APL will be ignored. When SICP is low (after choke line has been displaced to mud), however,
CLL may be only partially compensated.
C. If CLL <= 100psi but APL > 100 psi, the slimhole kill technique will be used to compensate APL
and CLL will be ignored. When SICP is low (after choke line has been displaced to mud), however,
APL may be only partially compensated.
D. If CLL > 100 psi and APL > 100psi, the combination of deep water and slimhole kill techniques will
be used to compensate both CLL and APL. User will be required to select an over-balance safety
factor in the "Kill Data" section. If SICP is low (after choke line has been displaced to mud), however,
CLL and APL will be only partially compensated.
The actual kill technique to be used will be displayed above the "Kill Data" section.
Kill Procedures:
At the end of the kill sheet (page 3), some guidance is also given on kill procedures and how to use the
kill sheet, etc.
For swabbed kicks, the techniques can be used as the final kill. For under-balanced kicks, however,
the techniques only provide a temporary measure to control the wellbore pressure. The final kill can
only be achieved by circulating kill mud into the hole. Therefore the techniques are only used when
circulating kill is impossible due to pumps breakdown, string washout, plugged bit nozzles or string
off-bottom, etc. Also it is worthwhile to mention that volumetric control of an influx is only necessary
when the influx contains free-gas which is migrating up the annulus.
use of DP pressure is impossible due to string washout, plugged nozzles or string off-bottom, etc.
3) Static Lubrication
The technique is used to vent gas from beneath BOP stack (both surface and subsea).
