Oil well control is the management of the dangerous effects caused by the unexpected release of formation fluid, such as natural gas and/or crude oil, upon surface equipment of oil or gas drilling rigs and escaping into the atmosphere.
KBUG – kelly bushing underground (drilling up in coal mines, West Virginia, Baker & Taylor drilling) KCI – potassium chloride; KD – kelly down; KMW – kill mud weight; KOEBD – gas converted to oil-equivalent at 6 million cubic feet = 1 thousand barrels; KOH – potassium hydroxide; KOP – kick-off point (directional drilling) KOP ...
Well control is the technique used in oil and gas operations such as drilling, well workover and well completion for maintaining the hydrostatic pressure and formation pressure to prevent the influx of formation fluids into the wellbore.
