Q46) Which of the following drilling practices would be considered when connection gas is noticed?
SELECT TWO ANSWERS
a) Pulling out of the hole to change the bit.
b) Raising the drilling fluid yield point.
e) Minimizing the time during a connection when the pumps are switched off
d) Controlling drilling rate so that only one slug of connection gas is in the hole at a time.
e) Pumping a low viscosity pill around bit to reduce balling up of bit or stabilizers.
Q46) White tripping out of the hole it is noticed that the drilling fluid required to fill the hole is less than calculated. What action must be taken?
a) Shut the well in and circulate to clean the hole.
b) Flow check, if negative continue to pull out of the hole.
c) Flow check, if negative run back to bottom and monitor returns.

Q49) Which of the following possible warning signs indicate that welt may go underbalanced?
SELECT TWO ANSWERS
a) Increase in pump pressure.
b) Reduction in rate of penetration.
c) Change in cuttings size &. shape
d) Increase in weight on bit.

Q51) While POOH, swabbing is suspected. The flow check is negative and it was decided to run back to bottom (30 stands) checking for flow after lowering every 5 stands. The flow checks after 5,10, 15 & 20 stands showed no flow. With stand number 25 back in the hole, the well was found to be flowing. What could be the most likely cause of the welt flow?
