... line psi sbp pump rate gpm Introduction The Shafag Asiman was a vertical exploration well drilled in the Caspian Sea, in a water depth of 624 m, using a semi-submersible drilling rig. The closest offset wells, located 40 km away, had experienced a wide range of issues, including stuck pipe...

... enables higher annular velocities (AV) and resulting higher equivalent circulating densities (ECD) per unit pump rate. The dynamic kill method controls formation pressure by relying on annular friction to create backpressure in the annulus that increases bottom hole pressure (BHP) (Costeno et al., 2012...

... to ensure that it is calibrated for additional stands that have been added to the drill string. Similarly, regular zeroing of DIFP is important to ensure that added hydrostatic pressure, which increases with depth, is taken into account, and to ensure that DIFP has been calibrated to the correct pump rate...
