2. Oil well control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

   1904 oil well fire at Bibi-Eibat (near Baku, Azerbaijan). Oil well control is one of the most important aspects of drilling operations. Improper handling of kicks in oil well control can result in blowouts with very grave consequences, including the loss of valuable resources and also lives of field personnel. Even though the cost of a blowout ...

   Example of a map used by reservoir engineers to determine where to drill a well. This screenshot is of a structure map generated by contour map software for an 8500 ft deep gas and oil reservoir in the Earth field, Vermilion Parish, Erath, Louisiana. The left-to-right gap near the top of the contour map indicates a fault line. This fault line ...

4. Pore pressure gradient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_pressure_gradient

   In the well-known formula P = 0.052 * mud weight * true vertical depth. taught in almost all petroleum engineering courses worldwide, the mud weight (MW) is expressed in pounds per U.S. gallon, and the true vertical depth (TVD) is expressed in feet, and 0.052 is a commonly used conversion constant that can be derived by dimensional analysis:

5. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

   The tubing may also have flow control mechanism. Single-well concentric kill string: within the well a small diameter concentric kill string is used to circulate kill fluids when needed. Single-well 2-tubing completion: in this instance 2 tubing strings are inserted down 1 well. They are connected at the lower end by a circulating head.

6. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)

   The BOP valve affixed to the wellhead could be closed in the event of drilling into a high pressure zone, and the well fluids contained. Well control techniques could be used to regain control of the well. As the technology developed, blowout preventers became standard equipment, and gushers became a thing of the past.

8. Well kill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_kill

   This, of course, runs a high risk of causing well damage. The most effective way is to use coiled tubing, pumping the gas/diesel down the coil and circulating out the bottom into the well bore, where it will displace the kill mud to production. (Of course, getting a coiled tubing spread to the location may take weeks of work and logistics.)
