Oil and gas engineering’s Post

MPD Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is a drilling technique used in the oil and gas industry to control well pressure during drilling operations. Involves the precise management of drilling fluid properties, flow rates and counterpressure to optimize drilling performance and mitigate drilling challenges such as well instability, loss of circulation and formation damage. MPD techniques allow drilling engineers to accurately control and manipulate the pressure profile in the well, which can help improve drilling efficiency, increase safety, and reduce non-productive downtime. MPD can be done using various methods and equipment, such as specialized drilling platforms, surface counterpressure control, bottom-well mud gas separation, and advanced drilling fluid systems.
