Major Accident Hazard: High-Pressure Formation Drilling
by CIE Drilling HSSE Advisor, from the Community
This checklist supports safe drilling into high-pressure formations by reinforcing barrier management and well control. It guides supervisors and crew to verify mud weight and circulation, calculate kick tolerance, and monitor pit levels, flow, and pump pressures. It covers BOP readiness and redundancy, loss of circulation contingencies, training and competency requirements, and escalation actions. Use it to document verifications, roles, and responses that reduce the risk of kicks and blowouts.
