What?
What is a kick?
An unscheduled entry of formation fluid(s) into the wellbore
17
Why?
Why does a kick occur?
The pressure inside the wellbore is lower than the formation pore pressure (in a permeable formation). pw < pf
18
How?
How can this occur?
( pW pF )
Mud density is too low Fluid level is too low - trips or lost circ. Swabbing on trips Circulation stopped - ECD too low

Kick Detection
Some of the preliminary events that may be associated with a well-control problem, not necessarily in the order of occurrence, are: 1. Pit gain; 2. Increase in flow of mud from the well 3. Drilling break (sudden increase in drilling rate)
25
Kick Detection
4. Decrease in circulating pressure; 5. Shows of gas, oil, or salt water 6. Well flows after mud pump has been shut down 7. Increase in hook load 8. Incorrect fill-up on trips
