A: The pit volume will increase B: The pit volume will decrease C: The pit volume will stay the same from now on D: The pit volume will fluctuate erratically E: The pit volume should not be monitored during a kill

od what will happen to the pit volume

WRONG - SORRY NOT CORRECT

As gas is circulated out the well through the choke the pit level will fall.
