Abstract
Drilling for sub-salt Paleozoic carbonate reservoirs in the North Caspian sea, offshore Kazakhstan, presents numerous subsurface and surface challenges. The goal of such drilling is to safely penetrate carbonate reservoirs that range in depth from 4 to 5 km, which are likely to contain over-pressured H2S-rich hydrocarbons.
