Real-Time Evaluation of Kick During Managed Pressure Drilling Based on Wired Drill Pipe Telemetry

Wired drill pipe telemetry is expected to revolutionize the ability to transmit downhole measurements in real time during<br>drilling operations. Bandwidth, reliability and availability improves dramatically and lead to better premises for developing<br>new technology for more advanced drilling methodology. Specifically, distributed pressure sensors along the drill string,<br>combined with real-time analysis of the data at the rig, will give valuable information to the drilling control system and the<br>decision makers when utilized properly.
