1. Write with Simple answer :
Primary Barrier Terms that used in Drilling operations that used to
control the well as the first barrier to prevent kick or
blowout, Primary barrier also refers to Drilling Mud
Secondary Barrier The terms that refers to control the well as the Second
barrier to prevent kick or blowout, Secondary barrier
also refers to the tools that will be instal such as BOP
(Blowout Preventer)
Primary Control Terms that used In Drilling Operations to prevent kick or
blowout with controlling the formation pressure to keep
stable, to make the formation pressure keep stable is to
maintain hydrostatic pressure is higher than pore
pressure
Secondary Control Terms that used in Drilling Operations to prevent kick or
blowout with Closing the BOP and put the Drilling fluids
density higher than influx density if there is indication of
kick

indication of kick or blowout
