1) While drilling a well, a kick was detected at 10100 ft depth, the driller immediately closed in the well and recorded following 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 and the
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)

2- Calculate the volume and density of a fluid composed of 50 lbm of bentonite, 100 lbm of barite, 0.2 gallon of additives and 2 bbl of fresh water.

3- For laboratory purposes, it is desired to mix one liter of bentonite-fresh water mud having a solid content is 3%.
i. Calculate the resulting mud density.
ii. How much of each material should be used? ​

A company is considering drilling a development well. Wellsite preparation, drilling and testing of the well is expected to cost $2.2 million. Completion of the well and the field equipment necessary to get the well ready for production (wellhead, tubing, flowline, etc.) would cost $1.4 million. Company geologists have suggested that there is a 20% probability that the well will be dry. If that is the case, abandonment and reclamation costs would be $150,000. In the event the well is...
