A Simulation-Based Evaluation of Alternative Initial Responses to Gas Kicks During Managed Pressure Drilling OPERATIONS

Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is an adaptation of conventional drilling that has been developed to manage and control subsurface pressures in the well in order to minimize specific drilling problems. The constant bottom hole pressure approach (CBHP) is a versatile method of MPD, where a closed ann...
