Apparatuses and Methods for Determining Wellbore Influx Condition Using Qualitative Indications

摘要: Apparatuses and methods useable in drilling installations having a mud loop for detecting ongoing or imminent kick events are provided. An apparatus includes first sensor configured to measure input flow pumped into the well, second variation of return emerging from well. The further controller connected sensor, sensor. is identify an event based on monitoring comparing evolution as measured by inferred measurements received Additionally, third can be included confirm conclusion made before alerting user that has likely occurred.
