SECTION «A»
A1 Describe the procedure (sequence of actions) for determining the viscosity of the drilling fluid using a rotary
viscometer and a Marsh viscometer. Evaluate the effectiveness of the quantitative assessment of the rheological
properties (plastic viscosity, yield stress) of non-Newtonian flushing fluids obtained using two instruments.

A2 Describe in general terms, graphically and mathematically the: Newtonian; Power Law and Bingham Plastic
rheological models.

SECTION «B»
B1 Cement volume calculations. Determine:
1. The volume of cement
2. The required number of sacks of cement
3. The volume of mixwater required
4. The volume of displacement
5. Top of the spacer
6. Hydrostatic pressure generated during the cementing operations.

B2 Whilst drilling the 8 1/2" hole section of a well the mud pit level indicators indicate that
the well is flowing. When the well is made safe the following information is collected:

Drillpipe pressure = 120 psi
Casing pressure = 90 psi
Pit gain = 9 bbls
Using this and the information provided in attachment 1 carry out the necessary
calculations to determine (read section 5 before attempting items c,d and e below):
a The formation pressure and kill mudweight
b The type of influx
c The time to kill the well
