... Abstract Applied annular pressure, for both managed pressure and underbalanced drilling, was born on land decades ago. In fact, the first Rotating Control Device (RCD), the critical component, dates as far back as the 1930's. Simply closing the annulus around the drillstring, and "bottling up...

... is achieved in PNPR cluster, historically and in near future. Ever since first production by PX and NX in 2004, infill drilling campaigns have been needed to sustain production above the economic limit of 5,000 bopd. Later in 2009, approximately a year after PR kicked off its first oil; the14 km pipeline...
