Pressure across kick at 10000

If well is in primary control the hydrostatic pressure in annulus and Drill pipe will be same but
as kick is already entered annulus and well is in secondary control (assuming kick is entered in
annulus which generally happens) annulus and drill pipe pressures will be different due to kick
fluid hydrostatics therefore,
BHP = SICP + hydrostatic pressure due to mud + hydrostatic pressure across kick fluid
5400 = 400 + 0.052 x 10 x 9555 + PKick-10000
PKick-10000 = 5400 400 4968.6
PKick-10000 = 31.4 psi
