Abstract: A gas kick might lead to disastrous consequences if it is not early detected and adequately mitigated. The current study provides valuable information about the latest methodologies developed as responses to a kick. A PRISMA systematic review was conducted to research the latest methods and techniques during the last decade. The review results were presented and discussed in a comprehensive and classified approach. It is worth noting that several new early kick detection approaches have been developed during the last decade. Most of the discussed developments focused on filling the gaps in the currently applied methodologies centred on traditional approaches for analysing kick's behaviour. However, due to the complex behaviour of such an event, several factors were usually oversimplified, leading to the compromised accuracy of the methodology. Recommendations were also proposed for analysing the kick's behaviour using modern and robust techniques such as computational fluid dynamics. [Received: June 28, 2022; Accepted: October 17, 2022]
