Simulation of Modified Dual Gradient Drilling System to Drill Deepwater and Ultra-Deepwater Wells
One of the main challenges in deepwater subsea drilling is the narrow operational mud weight window between pore pressure and fracture gradient; as water depth increases so does the complexity of maintaining this window. In addition to the imprecise nature of pore pressure and fracture values, deepw...
