True / False
14. The Wait and Weight method usually results in lower surface pressures.
True / False

in the same pressure on the casing shoe if the open hole volume is less than the
drill pipe capacity.
True / False
16. Company policy states "when killing a well you will always attempt to kill the
well using a method that minimises the pressure on the stack and upper
casing".
17. Which of the following would be your main consideration in selecting a kill
rate?
18. In bringing the pump to kill rate on a rig with a surface BOP how do we
ensure BHP remains constant?

drill pipe gauge when the choke is adjusted.
True / False
20. Place the following statements in the correct order if you are using the Driller's
Method. The well is already shut in.
b. Allow drill pipe pressure to fall ICP - FCP as kill mud is pumped to the
bit. (Or hold casing pressure constant as kill mud is pumped to the bit.)
d. Maintain drill pipe pressure constant at FCP until kill mud reaches
surface.
