Technical Paper: Early Kick Detection for Deepwater Drilling: New Probabilistic Methods Applied in the Field
Paper 71369
Abstract
This paper documents the development and field test of a sensitive new kick detection system. The detector uses a Bayesian probabilistic framework to make good decisions based upon noisy drilling data. It works on any rig type, but brings particular improvements to kick monitoring for deepwater drilling, especially in high heave conditions. The approach offers sensitivity improvements over existing systems, while maintaining a low false alarm rate.
