Well Killing Operation:

Killing well jobs comes before TCP

Operation if there is high Pressure
Gas production from perforation
zones:
Well Killing Preparation Procedures:
Killing well with normal circulation is method applicable to high
pressure gas wells.
Killing well with reverse circulation is method applicable to high
pressure oil wells with large production; its difficult to apply normal
circulation.
When perforation zones product high pressure gas production like
(AG-7C perforation zones),the Rig Engineer & crew must M/U & N/U
the Tubing head (spool) hold pressure until 3000 psi according to the
pressure of perforation zones in well program, under BOP hold
pressure until 5000 psi before TCP jobs.
Rig Engineer & crew should confirm the surface lines is connect &
opened from the check valve in the pump to the tubing down, up
casing to Return valve in casing to Return tank.
The Rig Engineer should determine the percentage of killing fluid
(KCL)( Prepare X m of Y ppg KCL Kill fluid.) according to well
program (the pressure of perforation zones) to crew, before mixed
KCL in the tank because if crew add the killing fluid more than well
program the oil escape from the perforation zones.
M/U pressure test to all surface lines in killing well (down Tubing up
casing) about 10 minutes if there is no leakage in the inlet valve &
outlet valve (Return valve that means this Pressure Test is OK.

CNLC Separator Flow Test Engineer should Shut In Tubing Pressure

(SITP) shot up to 2700 Psi; Bleed off well through separator to 1700
Psi.

CNLC Separator Flow Test Engineer should observed that, If the

pressure of perforation zones increase to X Psi more than 2000 psi
for example, he must tell the Rig Engineer & crew to mix & increase
the concentration of killing fluid (KCL) to 15% and crew must
continue pump killing fluid.

The crew should pump x m3 from (KCL), if the pressure increase to Y

psi wait for X hrs to pressure drop & Bleed off the pressure through
separator to Y1 Psi.
The assistant driller should pump killing fluid & fill the tubing with
Killing Fluid meanwhile the crew POOH.

Packer Engineer must Unset Packer before the crew POOH & pumps
Killing Fluid to circulate wellbore.

The crew should POOH & observed if there is kick or high gas
production by observed killing fluid in tubing (the quantity of KCL &
speed of KCL meanwhile killing fluid exit from the tubing).
If the quantity of gas is high the crew must closed BOP (Pipe Ram) &
connect safety valve and kill the well by above procedures.
