Module III
The objective of any well kill technique is to restore safety to primary well control. The driller's method and the wait and weight (W&W) method are the most commonly used well control kill methods. This course explores both in detail. In addition, other kill methods are discussed, such as volumetric, lubricate and bleed, concurrent, bullheading, reverse circulation, forward circulation and low chock pressure methods.
Module II begins with a discussion of the volumetric method and covers step-by-step procedures with specific workout examples of an application of the kill methods. A complete discussion on the volumetric method, lubricate and bleed method, concurrent method, bullheading method, reverse and forward circulation methods, and low chock pressure method. The oilfield well control kill worksheets are also introduced. The module is designed to control kicks through different kill methods and covers the understanding of the common problems and complications during well kill operations. It covers the fundamental issues for beginners interested in learning how to apply, select, and procedures of kill methods, including all calculations related to completing the entire process. The course presents the engineering terminologies so the reader can understand the formulas, mathematical models, correlations etc., with minimum effort. The module concludes by discussing calculations involving shut-in drill pipe pressure, shut-in casing pressure and explaining maximum shoe pressure. This will make the students interested in enrolling in the course.
This course is a foundation, resource guide and an excellent source for petroleum engineering students, drilling professionals, executives and drilling engineers who want to learn concepts, design, and all oilfield practicing kill methods through enough practice of the theories and examples. The course is designed for individuals and students with a basic understanding of drilling engineering. The course contains a total of 10 lectures, and each lecture comprises 25 to 40 PowerPoint presentation slides and pdf documents. Students are strongly advised to complete the course title “Basics of Drilling Engineering I and Drilling Engineering II” by Prof. M. Enamul Hossain at NSRIC Platform to understand this course content.

The importance of taking NOC courses:
This course is designed to train our students to find jobs in the Canadian labour market using the National Occupational Classification (NOC) and its codes. The Government of Canada developed the NOC to categorize occupational information in the Canadian labour market through a standardized framework and a system that can be easily managed, understood, and unified. Canadian Immigration (i.e., IRCC) uses the NOC to classify jobs and occupations according to specific skill levels. Canada's jobs are ranked according to a person's work and the roles and responsibilities of the job.
