Question

11a) Describe the pressure decline at the bottom of the well when the driller replaced the mud

with seawater.

Answer 1

There is a decline in the pressure value. Also, there is a loss of control of the pressure of the fluid that was in the well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure refers to a measure of the force applied over a unit area. Pressure is measured in pascals. Pressure is proportional to the number of molecular collisions as pressure is caused as a result of collisions of molecules with the walls of the container.

As the driller replaced the mud with seawater, the pressure decline at the bottom of the well. As a result, there is a decline in the pressure value. Also, there is a loss of control of the pressure of the fluid that was in the well.
