Wellbore strengthening is a process used to enhance the stability of the borehole and prevent fluid losses. Proper fluid monitoring ensures that the drilling mud remains at the right consistency to support the wellbore walls. Without accurate monitoring, unexpected pressure changes can cause fractures, leading to costly downtime and safety risks.
An Introduction to Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Its Benefits
The main goal of MPD drilling is to balance the pressure in the wellbore with the surrounding formation pressure. This helps to avoid sudden pressure surges and ensures a more controlled and efficient drilling process.
