... focuses on practical use of a multiphase flow model for design of underbalanced drilling (UBD) applications. Since most UBD operations involve multiphase flows, UBD operations are synonymous with multiphase flow modeling. Once a candidate well has passed requisite reservoir valuation and screening...

... enhancement (Bennion B., 1999). The newest insight into underbalanced drilling has been of reservoir chracaterization, i.e., the ability to characterize the reservoir while drilling. Underbalanced drilling can give the following characterization benefits (Davidson, Medeiros, & Reitsma, 2004): Inflow...

..., formation damage may be reduced. This is particularly important in the case of depleted reservoirs or when horizontal and deviated wells are drilled. As a result of the lower pressure in the wellbore there is an inflow from the reservoir into the wellbore, which is continuously measured at the wellhead...
