Primary Well Control - Explained

Whenever we think about well control, the heavy rig equipment such as Blow Out Preventor or Choke Manifold or Mud Gas Separator comes to our mind. While these equipment are used for well control, they are not the means for Primary Well Control.

So.. What is Primary Well Control ?

1. Formation Pressure
2. Drilling Fluids Density
3. Hydrostatic Pressure

The Video explains the concept..

Primary well control defined and explained very well !! It is very vital to note that primary well control is a function of drilling fluid density

Liked the very lucid explanation of primary well control. This video elucidated on formation pressure, hydrostatic pressure and drilling fluid density in a very comprehensible and coherent way. The diagrams further enhanced my understanding!
