'''''Example''''': Assume a well has taken a kick at [[depth::10,000 ft]] while drilling with 11.5-ppg mud. The well is shut-in, and the drill pipe pressure reads 312 psi. The excess in pounds per gallon mud weight equivalent is calculated as follows: | '''''Example''''': Assume a well has taken a kick at [[depth::10,000 ft]] while drilling with 11.5-ppg mud.
