b- Calculate the trip sheet using closed end displacement.
c- Monitor the closed end displacement returning on the active system.
d- Use self-filing float valve, monitor that the open end displacement is returning on trip tank

10. After connection and while circulating bottom up circulation, it was observed that the return flow increase. How do you explain this?

a- Blow out
b- Connection gas
c- Swabbed Kick
