... collected from the earlier wells. Examination of the deviated well bore profiles suggested occurrence of ledges due to lower mud weight and improper drilling parameters while drilling alternate layers of sand, shale and coal in Barail formation. Horizontal stress contrast increases in Barail formation...

... the downhole pressure-while-drilling (PWD) tool. The PWD tool provided real-time data to facilitate wellbore fingerprinting for the surface managed pressure drilling (MPD) system and to measure the downhole pressure in a high pressure well with a tight mud weight window to ensure safe drilling. Another...
