a) Explain the major causes of kick as related to the wellcontrol.
b) There are two major methods usually used in killing thewell \"the driller method\" and \"wait and weight method.\" Supposethat you have the following situation. Which method you willchoose. Explain and justify your answer. ​​​​
• Shortage of crew members for mixing.
• Shortage of heavy material (Barite) to prepare a killmud.
• Un-skillful people to do a complicated calculation.
• Time is not crucial.

c) What do you understand from the following terms used in thewell control:​
i. Secondary well control
ii. Dynamic Bottom hole pressure
iii. Circulating pressure
iv. Kick warning signs
d) While drilling a well, a kick was detected at 10100 ftdepth, the driller immediately closed in the well and recordedfollowing data was data:
Hole diameter = 8 1/2 inch
Mud weight = 13.2 ppg
Shut in drill pipe pressure (SIDPP) = 530 psi
Shut in casing pressure (SICP) = 800 psi
Pit gain =14 bbls
Assuming that the slow pump rate @30 SPM = 360 psi andthe
Annular pressure loss (APL) = 210 psi
Calculate each of the following:
i. Dynamic hole pressure (DHP)
ii. Killing mud weight (KMW)
iii. Equivalent circulating density (ECD)
iv. Maximum allowable annular surface pressure(MAASP)
