Do we need to modify the kick evacuation procedures with your system?
With EC-Drill® CML, conventional well control procedures remain unchanged. In the event of a kick, the BOP is closed and choke and kill lines are used, with an overbalance mud density typically higher than in conventional drilling.
The same conventional well control practices are used with the EC-Drill® system. If a kick should occur, then the BOP will be closed and choke and kill lines used to circulate out the kick. An overbalance mud density is used with CML, typically a higher mud density will be used compared to conventional drilling to give increased overbalance margin.
