As technology has advanced, more modern drillers have better control of the overall well. 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.
The primary means of detecting a kick while drilling is a relative change in the circulation rate back up to the surface into the mud pits. The drilling crew or mud engineer keeps track of the level in the mud pits and closely monitors the rate of mud returns versus the rate that is being pumped down the drill pipe.
MDSS – measured depth referenced to mean sea level zero datum – "subsea" level; MDT – modular formation dynamic tester, a tool used to get formation pressure in the hole (not borehole pressure which the PWD does). MDT could be run on Wireline or on the Drill Pipe; MDR – mud damage removal (acid bullheading) MEA – monoethanolamine
A well kill is the operation of placing a column of special fluids of the required density into a well bore in order to prevent the flow of reservoir fluids without the need for pressure control equipment at the surface.

A tool pusher (sometimes toolpusher, pusher, or The Push) is an occupation within the oil drilling industry..
