Continuous-Circulation Technique Drills Narrow-Margin Deepwater Wells

09/05/2019

Ultradeepwater wells are commonly characterised by their narrow margins between pore and fracture gradients. In these wells, even a small variation in pressure profile may lead to severe operational issues. Read the full article from JPT describing the Continuous-Circulation Technique in Deepwater Wells:

MPD and continuous circulation technology overcome deepwater challenges

09/05/2019

Wells drilled offshore Sabah, East Malaysia, using conventional open wellbore technology, have experienced well control events and significant NPT. Problems encountered included kicks, stuck pipe, and lost mud circulation.
