Purpose
To ensure minimal operational time and risk exposure to personnel, process, production and equipment. The following operational well control procedures are to ensure secondary well control can be maintained. If problems occur, procedures in this document, rig and well specific guidelines and other relevant documents should be followed.

Responsibilities
It will be the responsibility of the Operators drilling representative and senior contractor drilling personnel to ensure that others with duties relating to well control operations contained within this document are aware of their responsibilities.

Scope
These procedures shall apply to all drilling personnel.

Further References
Drilling contractors and Operators mutually agreed specific Well Control Procedures.

Definition
: Risk, event, likelihood, probability, circumstance, odds, occasion. Three areas of loss exposure can be considered to where Hazards exist

Waiting
Waiting on weather Waiting on spares, tools & equipment Waiting on orders

Wellbore
Shallow gas Well control Geological sidetrack Unplanned sidetrack

Equipment
Rig tools and equipment failure Service company tools & eqpt failure Twist off, lost in hole Stuck logging tools Stuck casing Side-track programme Quality Assurance (tubulars, certification, test certificates.) Back up, contingency, redundancy equipment Critical spares inventory

Amendment, change of program Waiting on costs, POs Waiting on People

Wellbore drag Hole quality Pore pressure prediction, monitoring Hole problems.

Shale problems Soft firm shales

Bit balling Mud rings Hole drag Erosion/washout

Hard brittle shales

Hole drag Sloughing/cavings Pack off Hole enlargement

Borehole stability
Rock mechanics Hydration stress effects Hole cleaning (N/A) High/low mud weights Open hole time Max mud wt Borehole stability charts Pressure fluctuations Min mud wt Pore pressure penetration Drilling practises Drillstring vibrations

Abnormal formation pressures

Hydrocarbon reservoirs Charged sands Under compaction (sedimentary loading) Tectonic loading Aquathermal pressuring Aquifers

Uplift loading
Salt diapirism Mud volcanoes Clay diagenesis

Problems arising from overpressure

Lost circulation Differential Sticking Formation damage Poor ROP

Subnormal formation pressures

Artificial production Temperature change Different oil densities Precipitation Epeirogenic movements Potentiometric surface Formation foreshortening Osmosis Decompressional Explansion
