Managed Pressure Drilling

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is an advanced technique used in oil and gas well operations to precisely control the pressure within the wellbore. By carefully monitoring and adjusting the amount of pressure exerted by drilling fluids, MPD helps prevent issues like reservoir damage, blowouts, or stuck equipment. It allows for safer and more efficient drilling, especially in challenging formations where pressure conditions are unpredictable. Essentially, MPD combines traditional drilling methods with real-time pressure management, enhancing safety, reducing non-productive time, and improving the overall success of well development.
