These foundations are not consistent with the practical features of thief formation, which would inevitably cause deviation of calculated results with actualization...

To achieve desired voidage replacement injection is expected with fracturing conditions using untreated produced water with injection rates > 1500 m3/day. Bottom hole pressures are at or above formation fracture pressure and decline in injectivity with time...

... an HPHT well with a low margin between the pore pressure and fracture pressure, they are presented with a paradoxical situation. If the mud weight is kept high to maintain a suitable overbalance against the pore pressure and avoid problems like swabbing, connection gases, and influxes due to temperature...

... in designed well trajectory length and ROP. In contrast, the DFFRAR becomes wider with the increase in rated pressure of drilling pump and fracture pressure of drilled formation. Moreover, the window of DFFRAR will be closed if one of these constraint conditions is not satisfied. A wider DFFRAR is conductive...

... pore pressures. To reduce the uncertainty fracture pressure were established by various methods such as Hubbert & Willis method and Matthews & Kelly method from predicted pore pressures. But the fracture pressures were predicted with available horizontal stress correlations due to lack...

..., is very useful in fractured formations and formations with very narrow pressure window between formation pore pressure and formation fracture pressure such as deep water zones. The bottom-hole pressure is defined to vary in the following equation ( Denney 2013 ): Eq-1 BH P dynamic = P...

... that injection in the Nisku aquifer (below or at fracture pressure with 1–2 Mt/year) causes only small surface heave in the range of 2–3 mm. Injection above the fracture pressure at 2 Mt/year results in higher well injectivity but also increases the possibility of caprock fracturing. The degree of vertical...

.... The lithology of this formation is mainly carbonates with intercalated shale and clay, with bottomhole temperatures around 150°C. This zone has historically indicated an average operating window of 0.07 g/cm3 between the pore and fracture pressures. This narrow drilling margin has led to the early termination...

... Abstract One of the major challenges of drilling and completion of oil and gas wells is the uncertainty in the formation fracture gradient and the fracture pressure. It is not uncommon that many drilling companies have spent money, resources and time in drilling and completing wells that should...
