Importance of Managed Pressure Drilling (mpd)
Managed Pressure Drilling, or mpd drilling , is the process of controlling the pressure in a well as it is being drilled. This is done by using specialised equipment, which may include, among other things, a rotating control device, an extra choke manifold, drill string check valves, and fluid/solids control equipment. In order to properly control the annular hydraulic pressure profile, it is important to identify the limitations of the downhole pressure environment. The goal of mpd drilling is to prevent a constant input of formation fluids to the surface. The right approach will be used to securely contain any influx that is unrelated to the operation. This is one of the very crucial techniques used in well completion services . Principle of MPD (Managed Pressure Drilling): The MPD method's fundamental component is its ability to control the bottom hole pressure profile. The hydrostatic pressure of the drilling fluid and the anticipated annular friction pressure are combi...
