U-Tube Drilling Concept: Explains the concept of U-Tube and provides the basic understanding as it affects the well control principles.

Overburden, Pore Pressure, and Fracture Gradient - Develop a clear understanding of concepts of porosity, overburden, formation, and fracture pressures. Also includes fracture gradient models, mitigating lost returns along with a preliminary discussion on casing seat selection and design factors.

Understanding MAASP: MAASP or Maximum Allowable Annular Surface Pressure is an important parameter while killing the well.

Hard Shut-in: Hard shut-in is a procedure for closing a well in preparation for well killing.

Drillers Method (First Circulation): Drillers method of well control is a two circulation method. Let's learn concepts and pressure variations in the first circulation.
