U.S. firm mulls building geothermal power plant from Sidoarjo mudflow

You stop all rotary table action and secure slips around the drill string, switch flow through the choke and kill manifold if not in use already and get prepared to increase the mud weight if a well kill is required (for example if constant circulation fails to get rid of the inflow).

Kmow what you mean about shitty work for shitty pay but these guys were relatively experienced, just never encountered a kick before.
