Kill Mud Weight Calculations In Oil & Gas
Kill Mud is the drilling fluid with a specific weight that will restore the primary well control and will secure the well on its own without the need of closing the BOP stack or any secondary well control.

Balance of Pressures

Once the well is shut-in providing nothing has broken down, the pressures in the well will be in balance. What is lacking in hydrostatic head of fluid in the well is now being made up by surface applied pressure on the annulus and on the drill pipe.
