... system in various drilling engineering concepts such as well control, underbalanced drilling, drilling fluids, completion, and cementing practices. This method is done by proposing a set of guidelines for the optimal drilling operations in different focus areas, by integrating current best practices...

... effectiveness are of main concern. To achieve this, a specific drilling fluid design was necessary. Laboratory tests and extensive research were initiated to customize the drilling fluid parameters and wellbore hydraulics necessary to achieve the primary drilling objectives. The drilling fluid design goal...
