.... A high-level Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) strategy was developed, involving the use of a 15.2 ppg mud weight with an Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) of 16.9 ppg. The plan included performing Dynamic Pore Pressure Tests and MPD Build Up Pressure Tests at the bottom of the Dharuma Formation...

Adding to these challenges, the limited surface locations in the field, that forces the well design trajectory to be deviated...

... at the surface. Further the continuous mud cap is applied while drilling to maintain the constant bottom hole pressure. However, the mud cap flow rate and mud weight (MW) most of the time are based on local best practices and not supported by any engineering study, for example using 1.5 ppg at the rate of 1.5...

Shale stability tests demonstrated that most of the instabilities identified in the Laffan and Nahr-Umr formations were mechanical in nature. The optimal mud weight is strongly dependent on the well trajectory to account for the plane of weakness...
