(1) While running wireline logs on a jackup rig equipped with a surface BOP stack, an influx is detected.
What are the steps to shut in the well using the hard shut-in method?
Inform the wireline operator to stop the winch.
Close the blind shear rams.
Open the remotely controlled side outlet valve on the BOP.
Record the shut-in casing pressure (SICP).
Record the influx volume.
Inform the wireline operator to stop the winch.
Cut the wireline.
Close the blind shear rams.
Open the remotely-controlled side outlet valve on the BOP.
Record the shut-in casing pressure (SICP).
Record the influx volume.
Inform the wireline operator to stop the winch.
Close the annular BOP.
Open the remotely-controlled side outlet valve on the BOP.
Record the shut-in casing pressure (SICP).
Record the influx volume.
Inform the wireline operator to pull out of well at maximum speed.
Close the annular BOP.
Continue to pull logging tools.
Open the remotely controlled side outlet valve on the BOP.
Record the shut-in casing pressure (SICP).
Record the influx volume.
(2) A well is shut in after an influx. There are signs of gas migration and there are concerns that well pressures are starting
to approach MAASP.
At the start of the shift, kill rate circulating pressures were only taken at 40 SPM.
- What is the most appropriate action to take?
- Select a lower pump rate to reduce the risk of exceeding MAASP.
Use the wait and weight method at 40 SPM to minimise pressure at the casing shoe.
Use the lubricate and bleed method to remove the gas from the well while maintaining bottomhole pressure (BHP).
Bleed the casing pressure back to the initial shut-in casing pressure (SICP) value before killing the well at 40 spm.
(3) An influx is being removed from a well using the lubricate and bleed method. What is the correct procedure to bleed off
drilling fluid?
A- Bleed off the equivalent hydrostatic pressure of the fluid pumped into the well.
B- Bleed off the volume of the fluid pumped into the well.
C- Bleed off a volume of fluid equal to the influx volume.
D- Bleed off the equivalent hydrostatic pressure of the fluid pumped into the well, along with the pressure increase caused by
the pumping.
(4) Some annular preventer are classified as ' well bore pressure assistance' at what stage of operation of the annular does
this feature become effective
a-only after the annular is closed and the closing pressure has been bled back to the recommended value
b-when the annular is fully opened
c – when the annular is closing
d- when the annular is fully closed
(5) …
- As per API Standard 53 (2018) For DPSV and IBOP, the initial p. test and subsequent [Link] up to MASP .
- Annular closing pressure to be adjusted before run casing to avoid crushing the casing.
- While Inflow test, pressure will slightly drop after initial bleed , then will build up again by the time due to thermal expansion.
- As per API 2018, Function test for remote choke, DPSV and IBOP must be daily.
- To repair HCR, required manual valve before HCR and drilling mud observed on trip tank.
- Annular preventer is the preventer cannot be locked.
(6) You have successfully pressure tested diverter system, Driller started to pump water through system and started
increasing circulation rate, what should be the next actions, choose two actions.
1- change water with drilling fluid.
2- check for leaks in the system, vibrations and tie down.
3- slightly close vent line applying back pressure.
4- check vent line returns.
5- check hydraulic volume used for closing diverter
(7) What's the best time to do stripping drill?
1- when open hole logging.
2- when bit inside casing.
3- when drill string inside open hole.
4- when drill string out of hole.
Answer is: 2
(8) 3-What are the important requirements for well barrier testing?
Pressure test one time for each well.
Maintain accurate records. Test documents signed by the onshore rig manager.
Follow an approved test procedure. Maintain accurate records. Test documents signed by responsible persons.
Keep records for wellhead testing. Follow an approved procedure. Maintain records on the rig for two years.
(9) While drilling the reservoir section, there is total loss of circulation. What is the first action to take?
a. Keep drilling.
b. Pump LCM at high rate.
c. Pump cement plug
d. ☑ Stop drilling, assess, and try to establish static fluid level& prepare LCM
(10) During kill operation, the gas alarm at the shale shakers activates. The pump rate is reduced from 25 to 15 SPM
but gas level remains high. What is the most appropriate action?
a. OPEN THE SECOND CHOKE.
b. Open gas buster choke
c. Continue to kill the well at 15 SPM
d. Shut in the well / restore liquid seal in MGS and continue kill
(11) While shut in horizontal well on gas kick and bit on bottom what is the gas behavior before start to circulate.
- Expand
- Migrate
• Not expand or migrate
(12) LOT is used to get kick tolerance, If well drilled deeper that planed well depth.
- Kick tolerance increase
- kick tolerance decrease
- kick tolerance not affected
