An improved gas kick detection method based on continuous Doppler ultrasonic wave in deep water drilling
Gas kick detection is an essential part of safe well control process in deep water drilling. The conventional gas kick detection methods are based on the drilling mud flow velocity measured near the well mouth which often results in a high probability of delay. For deep water drilling, the gas kick...
