18 Kick Circulation

19 Drilling Operations  Kick tolerance updates – function of casing point, fracture gradient, mud weight, hole depth, kill rate.  Marginal kicks – Expected or actual kicks that are just above or below a kick tolerance line.  Timely updates – Once model is set up for a given well or hole section, update can be made in a matter of minutes.
