Kick Tolerance Modeling in Well Design and Drilling: A Comprehensive Technical Review
Abstract: Kick and blowout events in drilling operations can lead to significant losses of equipment, and in some cases, human lives. Oil and gas companies, along with oilfield service providers involved in drilling operations, face severe penalties and sanctions following such incidents. Research has demonstrated that incorporating kick tolerance models during the well planning and drilling stages can mitigate the risk of blowouts during secondary well control operations. This study reviews …
