High Pressure High Temperature
• We talked about HPHT deinitions in Note #1 What is the HPHT?,
HPHT Classification, HPHT Consideration, HPHT Mechanisms, and
HPHT Challenges.
• Note #2 Gas kick behavior and control in HPHT wells.
• Note; Note #3 is GAS SOLUBILITY IN OBM’S, EFFECTS ON KICK
BEHAVIOR
• Note #4: Rig Equipment Summary
• Note #5: Surface Gas Handling Capacities and Procedure for HPHT

Drilling and Well Control Procedures for HPHT
Wells
• Contents
• Drilling and well control procedure
• H2S procedure
• Pressure control system equipment inspection and repair
• Training
• Management and control of the operation

3
Wells
Drilling and Well Control Procedure
• The Operator should submit written procedures which pay particular
attention to the operation
• We will have a special reference is to be made to the following:-
• Drilling Procedure
• Well control procedure
• High temperature situation
• H2S procedure

4
Wells
• Serviceability and consistency of instrumentation for monitoring
pressure, temperature, and flowrates of fluids entering and
leaving the well bore at surface and recording of such
information and relevant information pertaining to incidents and
events.
• Status of automatic MAASP control in 12.25 inch and smaller
hole sizes.
• Specific instructions regarding equipment to be installed, or not,
in the bottom hole assembly.
5
Wells
• Penetration rate limitations. - Action to be taken on encountering
a drilling break.
• Procedure/action to be taken if rate of increase of temperature of
the fluid returns increases above the previously observed trend
• when circulating at the rate used in drilling to the existing depth in
the present hole size.

6
Wells
• Procedure when gas content of mud increases.
• Casing wear monitoring and procedures/practices to minimize
casing wear.
• Frequency of BOP and ancillary pressure control equipment tests.
• Frequency of kick drills.
• Operational status of overboard vent lines.

7
Wells
• Procedures prior to, during, and after trips including acquisition of
borehole survey data.
• Procedure for monitoring wellbore fluid losses or gains when open
hole is exposed and there is no pipe in the hole, or through the
BOPs, particularly when the annular preventer and/or blind rams
are closed.
• Precautions to be taken when coring in overpressured reservoirs.

8
Wells
• Shut-in procedures including sequence of operation of BOPs and valves in the
pressure control system.
• Procedures in case of doubt whether an influx has occurred.
• Procedure for determining kick size and classification.
• Guide-lines on choice of kick handling method and procedures for handling
various types of kick .
• Pressure limits for bullheading.
• Stripping-in procedures.
• Procedure/precautions to ensure mud-gas separator does not become
overloaded when circulating out a kick.
9
Wells
• Procedures/precautions to prevent hydrate formation and/or if hydrate
formation is suspected/occurs whilst circulating out a kick.
• Procedure when circulating out a kick if the temperature and pressure
measured upstream of the surface choke exhibit anomalous trends or reach
levels inconsistent with the circulation rate, especially during the later stages
of removal of the influx from the wellbore.
• Precautions to guard against explosive decompression of elastomeric
components in the pressure control system when depressurising the system if
such components have been exposed to hydrocarbon gases at high pressure
for a prolonged period for any reason.
• Procedures in the event of loss of control.
10
Wells
• High Temperature Situation
• Monitoring procedures, precautions, and actions to be taken to
insure that the rated working temperatures of elastomers in the
equipment below are not exceeded:
• Flexible hose linings.
• BOP Pipe ram face seals.
• Any other seals in the pressure control equipment which could
be exposed to extremes of temperatures.

11
Wells
• H2S Procedure
• Unless there is conclusive evidence that H2S monitoring will not
be required whilst drilling the well, the Operator should submit a
copy of his H2S Procedures Manual, or that part of his Emergency
Procedures Manual addressing H2S Procedures.

12
Wells
• Pressure Control Equipment Inspection/repair Procedure
• Policy of testing and inspection of annular BOP’s after stripping-in operations.
• Procedures to maintain total well control if the BOP stack has to be
pulled/removed to repair faulty or failed components.
• Flexible choke and kill hose pressure testing and inspection frequency and
procedures.
• Frequency and procedures for inspection and testing of permanently installed
surface pressure control equipment, surface gas handling facilities, and solid
pipework components of the choke and kill lines on the riser and BOP stack.

13
Wells
• Management o The Operation
• Reporting relationships both offshore, onshore, and between the two,
with definite clarification of the person onboard the installation to
whom ultimate authority for decision making in respect of safety of the
installation has been given.
• Level of supervision of operations offshore by Operator’s staff.
• Communications between offshore and onshore.
• Duties of individual personnel.
• Any major changes in reporting relationship between normal and
emergency situations.
