Which condition is NOT a reason to record Slow Circulation Rate (SCR) pressures?

Recording Slow Circulation Rate (SCR) pressures is crucial for monitoring wellbore stability and preventing potential issues during drilling operations. The conditions that typically necessitate recording these pressures include situations where significant changes could affect the well's integrity or the response of the well to operational changes.

When returning to drilling after killing the well, it's critical to monitor pressures to ensure that the well is stable and to observe any potential influxes of gas or fluids into the wellbore. Similarly, when there are changes to the bit or Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), recording SCR pressures provides insight into how these changes impact well dynamics and can indicate possible issues with circulation or well control.

Significant changes in mud properties can also warrant the recording of SCR pressures since the type and density of the drilling fluid can have substantial effects on the well's pressure profile and overall stability.

Drilling in shallow water, however, does not typically present the same level of concern for needing to record SCR pressures. While it may influence other operational considerations, the shallow water scenario itself is not inherently linked to increased risks requiring SCR pressure monitoring like the other listed situations.
