This paper covers the difficulties that arise during drilling operations in the oil and gas sector, concentrating on well control in particular. The study uses the engineer's method (the wait and weight method) to investigate pressure fluctuations that happen during well control. The study goals were achieved by using the drilling simulator and landmark software to simulate different scenarios with varying kick sizes (kick sizes of 8, 15 and 20 bbl), respectively and two slow circulating rates of 30 SPM and 40 SPM). The results showed that the size of the kick and the circulating rate have a significant impact on pressure levels, with larger kicks resulting in higher pressure profiles. The time it takes to completely kill the well is affected by the different circulating rates. The findings emphasize the importance of proper kick management to safely remove gas kicks from the wellbore.
