Kick analysis - Maximum pit gain from a gas kick in water-based mud

Input(s)

P: Formation Pressure (psi)

V: Pit Gain (bbl)

KWM: Kill weight mud (ppg)

C: Annular Capacity (bbl/ft)(\mathrm{bbl} / \mathrm{ft})

Output(s)

MPG: Maximum pit gain resulting from a gas kick in a water-based mud (bbl)

Formula(s)

MPG=4(PVCKWM)0.5M P G=4 *\left(P * V * \frac{C}{K W M}\right)^{0.5}
