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 ...
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.

Kick: An intrusion of pressurized fluid into the wellbore that causes drilling fluid to be displaced. It can be the precursor to a blowout. Kickoff: A planned deviation from vertical, executed at the bottom of the wellbore.

Steerable motors are used to drill the kick-off point. When drilling the kick-off point be sure to avoid drilling a soft formation immediately below a hard one. In hard abrasive formations the high-side forces at kick off can cause severe bit shank wear. Ideally the kick-off point should be selected in a non-abrasive homogenous formation. [2]
