Pressure Management
One key message from this SPE Live: Kicks can be catastrophic, but recent and future developments in sensor technology, data processing, and telemetry are enabling timely identification and mitigation plans. A kick or an influx may be defined as an unintended flow of formation fluid into the borehole. It occurs when the wellbore pressure falls below the formation pore pressure. Not all kicks are dangers; however, an uncontrolled kick can lead to catastrophic events. A reliable early kick detection and monitoring system is critical to maintaining wellbore stability.

Pore Pressure Uncertainty is one of the biggest challenges faced by drilling companies today. Despite the great advancements in the generation of new models to predict the mud weight window, pressure uncertainty still represents a significant percentage in the total amount of nonproductive time in drilling operations. The implementation of intelligent Managed Pressure Drilling systems has proven to be an effective instrument reducing this nonproductive time by assessing the pore pressure limits while drilling and by minimizing the consequences of encountering abnormal pore pressure or unexpected downhole fluid losses by allowing a quick response to this events detecting and automatically adjusting bottomhole pressure. This webinar will go through the concept of an intelligent MPD system and how this has been implemented to assess the formation pressure limits and mitigate drilling hazards.

This presentation covers the underbalanced drilling method, which is defined as the practice of drilling a well with the wellbore fluid gradient less than the natural formation gradient. Besides minimizing lost circulation and increasing the penetration rate, this technique has a widely recognized benefit of minimizing the damage caused by invasion of drilling fluid into the formation. Different underbalanced drilling equipment and techniques are discussed under this topic. The underbalanced well classification system used by the industry and several case studies are also covered in this presentation.
Longtime SPE member Steve Nas catches up with Mark Arathoon of PETRONAS and Martin Culen, Chief Commercial Officer, Kelda Drilling Controls. All three served as committee members for the SPE Workshop: Managed Pressure Drilling – Collaboration Towards Excellent Applications & Solutions in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the conclusion of the workshop, the group met to address technological advancements in Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD).

Join Weatherford's Carlos Iturrios and Abdul Saboor in this SPE Tech Talk as they discuss how the tools and techniques of managed pressure drilling are not just for drilling operations or just the most challenging wells. Tuesday, 3 May 2022 0900-0930 hours CT (UTC -5) Register below to watch the Tech Talk.
Join Weatherford's Carlos Iturrios and Abdul Saboor in this SPE Tech Talk as they discuss how the tools and techniques of managed pressure drilling are not just for drilling operations or just the most challenging wells. Managing pressure is a performance-enhancing solution for almost any well and a wide variety of well operations. Get it right and the benefits are greater efficiency, fewer problems and a productive well.
