    Driller Method

    Uploaded by

    The Driller's Method involves circulating the well twice to kill it while maintaining constant bottom hole pressure. The first circulation removes the kick with original mud, holding drillpipe pressure constant. The second circulation kills the well with heavier kill mud, holding drillpipe pressure constant until the kill mud reaches the surface. If after shutting down the pumps drillpipe and casing pressure are both zero, the well has been successfully killed.

    DRILLER METHOD

    Drillers method is one of several methods to kill the well. The main idea of
    driller method is to kill the well with constant bottom hole pressure. The Drillers
    Method of well control requires two complete and separate circulations of drilling
    fluid in the well.

    The first circulation removes influx with original mud weight. When starting
    to bring pumps up to speed, casing pressure must be held constant until kill rate is
    reached. Then drillpipe pressure is held constant to maintain constant bottomhole
    pressure which is normally equal to, or slightly greater than pore pressure. Drillpipe
    pressure will be held constant until influx is removed from annulus. If the wellbore
    influx is gas, it will expand when it comes close to surface therefore you will see an
    increase in pit volume and casing pressure.After the kick is totally removed from the
    well, when the well is shut-in, drillpipe and casing pressure will be the same value. If
    not, it means that there is influx still left in the wellbore or trapped pressure.

    Second circulation kills well with kill mud. When the required kill mud
    weight is mixed, it is the time to start the second circulation of driller method. We
    start with bringing pumps to kill rate by holding casing pressure constant. While
    circulating with the kill mud, casing pressure must be held constant until kill mud
    reaches the bit. After that, we need to hold drill pipe pressure constant then continue
    circulating with constant drill pipe pressure until kill mud weight reaches at surface.
    Then shut down pumping operation and observe drillpipe and casing pressure. If the
    well is successfully killed, both drillpipe and casing pressure will be zero. If not,
    there is some influx still in the well.
