ABSTRACT:
During development drilling of a densely-faulted clastic field, dynamic losses were encountered at wellbore pressures below the pre-drill fracture pressure predictions. Interestingly, most of these losses events can be attributed to the presence of seismically mapped faults. Early recognition of the losses enabled the team to document a comprehensive losses database.
