Kill Sheet and Shut-In Response Guidance
Generates the kill sheet from live well data and monitors shut-in and choke execution against procedure once a well is shut in.

The Challenge
A managed kick costs $2.5M and a major blowout $500M+. Kill sheets are still calculated by hand under stress, so response quality depends on who happens to be on the rig floor.
How It Works
- Ingests live well data, casing and mud programmes, and the standard shut-in procedures.
- Computes kill mud weight, kill rate pressures and strokes to bit, then ranks kill methods.
- Guides the driller on choke pressure and flags deviation from procedure during the kill.
What It Removes
- Kill sheets calculated by hand under stress
- Kill method chosen from memory and habit
- Shut-in steps recorded only after the event
Input Data RequirementsReal-time well data feeds, well geometry and casing design, mud programmes, shut-in and kill procedures, crew well control certifications
Output FormatAuto-generated kill sheet, ranked kill method recommendation, choke pressure targets, procedure compliance log, BOP function test record
“When we shut in, I want the kill sheet already on the screen, not being worked out on paper.”
