Well Control Safety
Properly trained personnel are essential for well control activities. Well control consists of two basic components:
- an active component consisting of drilling fluid pressure monitoring activities, and
- a passive component consisting of the Blowout Preventers (BOPs).
The activities involved in well control are:
- blowout prevention program
- monitoring and maintaining mud system
- testing BOPs, accumulators, and choke manifold
- maintaining surface control system
Now, let's take a closer look at these specific activities on the drilling site.
