Question: We are drilling in the 8 . 5 ' ' - hole section of a vertical well at 1 1 , 0 0 0 f

We are drilling in the 8.5''-hole section of a vertical well at 11,000ft. The previous casing string (9-58,47lbs??ft) was run and cemented at 8,500ft. A kick has been detected. 8 bbls of 11 ppg mud has been gained in the mud pit. The well was shut in and casing pressure was recorded (Table 1). The shut-in drill pipe pressure is 230 psi . The drill string consists of 600ft6-14DC93.5lb??,ft , and 5'' DP,19.5lbft. Reduced Circulating Pressure (RCP) is 360 psi . The mud pump is a triplex single-acting pump with the following specifications:
Length of liner: 14 inches
Piston diameter: 6 inches
Rod diameter: 2 inches
Volumetric efficiency: %97
Calculate:
a. Casing Shut-In Pressure (CSIP)
b. Type of influx
c. Minimum required BOP pressure rating
d. Discuss the effects of MW, formation pressure, fracture propagation pressure, and type of influx on MAASP.
e. Formation Pressure.
f. Kill mud density.
g. Density of influx
h. Generate the kill sheet if SF=200
i. Draw SPP vs. pump stroke for both first and second circulation, if SF=200 psi.
j. Calculate MAASP for both current and kill mud if fracture propagation pressure (FPP) is 0.71ft.
k. After finishing the first and second circulation of driller's method and turning off the mud pump, what values should Standpipe Pressure (SSP) and Pcsg gauges be reading after:
a. Successfully finishing the first circulation of the driller's
