... Abstract When drilling from a deepwater semisubmersible rig, the operator encountered wells problems, including lost circulation, influxes, and ballooning, in the 14 3/4-in. hole section. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) equipment that helped to mitigate these issues specifically, when stripping...

... and execution phase. The saw-tooth type ECD manipulation increases the BHP by 150-200psi during pill spotting schedule. Abstract Until recently many of the wells on US land that were drilled using Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) technology utilized one size fits all equipment designed for the offshore...

Managed Pressure Drilling Approach Abstract With rising energy demand, operators in the Middle East are now focusing on developing unconventional resources. To optimize hydraulic fracture stimulation, most of these deep gas wells...

... low-pressure-wellhead housing and cement, same in place. Abstract Managed pressure drilling (MPD) has a reputation for enhancing drilling performance. However, in this study, we use it as a technology for making undrillable wells drillable. In the deepwater of the Mediterranean of Egypt, a gas...

... constant. Since a lower fluid density was selected, the BHP was lower, and the job was completed maintaining ECD below FG. Note that BHP was not constant during MPC, but rather managed to keep it from exceeding the FG. MPC Equipment Abstract In the past several years, managed pressure drilling...

..., these simulators are referenced as Simulator 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Abstract Underbalanced drilling (UBD) and managed pressure drilling (MPD) techniques provide the capability to precisely control bottomhole pressure (BHP). During upfront planning and engineering, as well as during the actual operation...

... Abstract The managed pressure drilling (MPD) technique was chosen to drill a well on the Gullfaks A platform as a risk mitigating factor. In addition, the MPD technique gives accurate flow measurement, provides the potential to handle pressure variations quickly, and determines the drilling...
