Successful MPC Application for Ultra-Deepwater Well in South America: Case Study

Abstract

Abstract Exploration deepwater wells demand proper planning to mitigate any potential risks during well construction where uncertainty can play an important role. For this reason, designing dependable barriers under such a scenario requires innovative techniques, such as Managed Pressure Cementing (MPC). Using Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), the operator can control the wellbore pressure while drilling each section. This unconventional solution for a short operational window has been successful…
