Interpretation and Visualization of drilling hazards in the South Caspian Basin: Zafar Mashal Prospect

The large offshore structures in the Azerbaijan sector of the South Caspian Basin are associated with<br>difficult drilling conditions due to a number of factors. 3D visualization and interpretation tools have been applied<br>to mitigate the numerous drilling hazards such as over pressured channels, shallow faults, shallow gas and mud<br>volcanoes. The same tools have been used to integrate interpretation results into the well plan and visualize the<br>associated drilling uncertainties.
