Salinity-Based Pump & Dump Strategy for Drilling Salt with Supersaturated Fluids

Abstract: Riserless drilling with weighted mud systems, commonly referred to as a "Pump & Dump" drilling strategy, is an established drilling technique used on deepwater wells with shallow hazards. Large holes and high flow rates result in very large volumes of fluid being required to drill to total depth (TD), circulate the well clean and cement the conductor casing string. Fluids management becomes a major issue in the riserless hole section. In the Gulf of Mexico, mud is often densified in excess of well requirements… Show more
