HPHT drilling requires detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines based on the type and specifications of the drilling rig as well as the hazards involved in drilling the well. Well Control events under HPHT conditions can only be prevented through first class supervision by experienced personnel, extreme vigilance, management support, and a thorough understanding of the specific well conditions. As a result, Stuart Wright recommends a rig and well specific HPHT Well Control manual for their clients.
