Aims
1. Estimate fracture pressure of exposed
formations. (The maximum pressure that may be
imposed on that formation)
2. To verify the casing & cement job.
3. To verify the formation below the casing seat
can withstand the wellbore pressure
4. Calculate the maximum equivalent mud
weight that should be applied to the well
during drilling operations.
Procedures
.
1-Drill out new formation few feet, circulate bottom
up and collect sample to confirm that new formation
is drilled to and then pull string into the casing
1- Close annular
preventer or pipe
rams.
2- line up a cement
pump.
3- Circulate through an
open choke line to
ensure that surface
line is fully filled with
drilling fluid.
4- Stop the pump and
close a choke valve.
Gradually pump small amount of
drilling fluid into well with constant
pump stroke.
