Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is an advanced drilling technique used in oil and gas exploration to precisely control the pressure in a wellbore. By carefully adjusting the drilling fluid's pressure, MPD minimizes the risks of well kicks (unexpected inflows) or stuck equipment, improves safety, and enhances efficiency in complex or challenging formations. It combines real-time data monitoring with specialized equipment to maintain optimal pressure balance, enabling safer, more accurate, and cost-effective drilling operations in difficult subsurface conditions.
