In high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) reservoirs and deepwater exploratory wells, uncertainty often leads to over-engineered designs and increased operational costs and challenges. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques offer cost-effective solutions to mitigate risks and enhance operational efficiency. Early implementation of MPD in the project life cycle yields significant benefits such as improved safety, risk management, and operational efficiency. This presentation emphasizes the value of integrating MPD into well design optimization, highlighting its potential to reach target depths, reduce casing strings, and manage uncertainties effectively. It discusses case studies showcasing cost savings and operational benefits, outlines enablers of MPD integration, and proposes new guiding criteria for a systematic and integrated approach to optimize well design while considering operational implications and cost benefits.

This webinar demonstrates how incorporating Managed Pressure Drilling benefits from the early stages of well design can lead to a significant improvement in efficiency, cost assurance, and safety in the well delivery process.
