PROCEDURE

This method is used when the kick fluid nears the surface, circulation is not feasible,
and the surface pressures could possibly reach the pressure rating of the wellhead or the casing.
The method employs injecting a fluid into the well and allowing it to fall to start increasing the
hydrostatic pressure. Since this hydrostatic pressure is added to the well, a back pressure equal
to the gain in the hydrostatic pressure must be removed by bleeding through a control device.
INPUT INFORMATION MUD PUMP
Shut-in Casing Pressure, psi Stroke Length, in? =
Casing ID, in? = Liner Size, in? =
Pipe OD, in? = % Efficiency (1 - 100)? =
Density of Fluid in Well, ppg? = Pump Output, bbl/stk 0.0000
Number of pump strokes to increase the SCIP 200 psi? =

Start the pumping into well until the SICP has increased approximately ±200 psi. While waiting
for the fluid to fall through the gas to the top of the fluid column, the casing pressure can be bled
back to it's original pressure. Bleed off only gas, not the injected fluid. After a sufficient time, the
gain in hydrostatic can be bled off in "back" pressure.
LUBRICATE and BLEED PROCEDURE CALCULATIONS
Volume of fluid pumped, bbls H17 0.00
Annular volume, bbl/ft 0.0000
Height or space added fluid will occupy in wellbore, ft #DIV/0!
Gain in hydrostatic pressure due to added fluid, psi #DIV/0!
Value to bleed casing pressure down, psi #DIV/0!

The basic procedure is to inject fluid, wait for the pressure to stabilize, then bleed off
This procedure is repeated until the annulus is full of fluid. If the well was underbalanced, then the
gas space at the surface in the wellbore must be replaced with a fluid heavy enough to dominate
the pressure underbalance.
