n: a method for killing well pressure in which circulation is commenced immediately and mud weight is brought up in steps, or increments, usually a point at a time. Also called circulate- andweight method.

n: See circulate-and-weight method.

a well pressure control operation in which circulation is started immediately and mud density is brought up in steps until the well has been completely circulated to the kill weight fluid.

v: 1. in drilling, to control a kick by taking suitable preventive measures (e.g., to shut in the well with the blowout preventers, circulate the kick out, and increase the weight of the drilling mud). 2. in production, to stop a well from producing oil and gas so that reconditioning of the well can proceed. Production is stopped by cir- culating a kill fluid into the hole.

v: To stop a well from flowing or having the ability to flow into the wellbore. Kill procedures typically involve circulating reservoir fluids out of the wellbore or pumping higher density mud into the wellbore, or both. In the case of an induced kick, where

a term used to describe various methods to stop flow from a well. Commonly pumping a kill weight fluid into a well to create an overbalance into the formation.

flow lines to the BOP stack, entering below the pipe rams, through which kill weight fluids can be pumped.

the density of a full column of fluid when the density of that fluid is just high enough to prevent pore fluid flow.
