Simulation Study of Emerging Well Control Methods for Influxes caused by Bottomhole Pressure Fluctuations During Managed Pressure Drilling

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is an emerging drilling technology that utilizes mud weight, surface backpressure and annular frictional pressure loss (AFP) to precisely control the wellbore pressure. The goal of this project is to identify the most appropriate initial response and kick circulation...
