My friend just sent me the very useful well control stuff again. This time is the IWCF well control quizzes by Transocean which use to train their people. The well control quizzes each contain 25 questions and are grouped into related topic areas ranging from fairly basic knowledge through to some of the harder calculations that supervisors may come across in their IWCF exam.

There are a total of 8 modules as follows:

1. Basic knowledge in well control

2. Basic pressure (hydrostatic pressure)

3. Warning signs and shut in

4. Shut in conditions

5. Volume and MAASP (Maximum Allowable Anticipated Surface Pressure)

6. Well control methods

7. Some tricky well control questions

8. Subsea well control questions

Additional information: IWCF stands for The International Well Control Forum which is an oil industry Membership Organization established in Europe in 1992. Its primary purpose is to develop and administer well control certification programs for personnel employed in oil well Drilling, Workover and Well Intervention operations.

Let’s have one more test in order to remind you about the first circulation of driller’s method.

When you shut the well in, you record these following pressure readings.

Initial Circulating Pressure (ICP) = 1500 psi

Original Shut in Drill Pipe Pressure = 500 psi

After you circulate the 1 st step of driller’s method, you see drill pipe pressure and casing pressure reading like this image below.

Before starting 1st circulation of driller’s method, you have this following information

Original Shut in Drill Pipe Pressure = 500 psi
Shut in casing pressure = 800 psi

After complete the 1st circulation, you shut down pumps and you see the drill pipe pressure and the casing pressure as this figure below

Let’s take another quiz regarding driller’s method.

Before start the first circulating, you have the following information

Original Shut in Drill Pipe Pressure = 500 psi

Initial Circulating Pressure (ICP) = 1500 psi

After end of 1st circulation of Driller’s Method, the drillpipe pressure gauge and the casing pressure gauge shows that the circulating drill pipe pressure = 1500 psi and casing pressure = 500 psi (see the figure below).

In order to get more understanding about driller’s method, there are some quizzes that will help you get clear picture of it.

1st example –

Before start circulating, you have the following information

Original Shut in Drill Pipe Pressure = 500 psi

Initial Circulating Pressure (ICP) = 1500 psi

After end of 1st circulation of Driller’s Method, the drillpipe pressure gauge and the casing pressure gauge shows that the circulating drill pipe pressure = 1500 psi and casing pressure = 650 psi (see the figure below).

Do you think what is happening with the well?
