Abstract
To meet future global energy demand, access to deeper and harder to get at hydrocarbon reservoirs requires innovative and cost effective technical solutions. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is one such solution that can best be described as an adaptive drilling process engineered to safely address exploitation challenges related to reservoir uncertainty issues and cost.
