Section 1. Filled-in kill sheet exercises – Gauge problem exercises

Gauge problem exercises are created from a pre-completed kill sheet containing all relevant volume and pressure calculations.

Each question is based on strokes, pump rate, drillpipe and casing gauge readings at a specific point in time during well kill operation. Any one or a combination of these readings could indicate the action required. Options are shown in the multiple-choice answers.

The casing and/or drillpipe pressures will only be relevant to the action if:

• The casing and/or drillpipe pressures given in the question are below the expected pressures.

or

• The casing and/or drillpipe pressures given in the question are 70 psi or more above the expected pressures.
