Oke,
If nothing is done the FCP will rise because of the displacement of kill mud now in the annulus. As the annulus is being displaced with kill mud the pumps are now pumping a heavier mud up the annulus which will increase pump pressure, so it is up to the choke operator to maintain FCP by opening the choke.

After attaining FCP during the W & W method you are required to keep the FCP constant. I understand that the CSGP increases since the gas is expanding as it is being circulated out but what about the FCP? Is it expected to stay constant by itself or should it also be rising maybe with a smaller margin than the CSGP? If the latter is the case then how do you differentiate this from a choke plug problem?

Excellent and well presented article. Cleared the misconception of unquestioning superiority of weight&wait over Drillers method of kick control.
