... Abstract Wells Process Safety (WPS) is a major aspect of delivering a well/ workover safely. An increasing trend in WPS Level 3 incidents was observed in the first four months of 2021. WPS Level 3 incidents are well control events where the first well control barrier was lost leaving one single...

Lack of drilling fluid circulation can cause a wide range of issues in downhole, including problems with well-control, stuck pipes, reservoir damage from mud...

In order to reduce non-productive time taken for mud losses and well control events, the present study aimed at analyzing its root-causes in the carbonate reservoir and creating a risk map of severe lost...

The lost circulation problem becomes even aggravated in the reservoir section where the LCM present in the drilling fluid may plug the pores and fractures of reservoir rock. The total loss in circulation may lead to well control issues. The reduced pressure...

... (LCM, cement plug, etc). Since then, it was agreed to stop the attempts to cure these losses and control these wells instead with a unique well control situation through dynamic filling, which is a continuous pumping of water (70 - 120 m3/hr depending on the hole size) in the annulus. This method acts...
