... as planning and technological gaps suppressing the production prospects and investigates the application of Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling and Constant Bottomhole Pressure techniques with controlled Gas-Influx as an effective approach in mitigating the constraints by aligning the bottomhole pressure...

... operation. The application of a pressurized mud cap drilling (PMCD) variant of MPD in a recent project in Indonesia was key in allowing the operator to reach their targeted depth. PMCD is a non-conventional drilling technique designed to maintain annular wellbore pressure when total loss of circulation...

... The definition of MPD covers a wide range of variations and applications, but the most commonly utilized among them are the Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling (PMCD) and Constant Bottom Hole Pressure (CBHP) variations, which are discussed below. Abstract Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has been...

... conventional to PMCD mode, then to EKD and back again to conventional is also minimum. This paper will give an overview of PMCD and EKD before going more on the setup and limitations of each system and possible improvement. Abstract Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling (PMCD) and Early Kick Detection (EKD...

... Abstract Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling (PMCD) is a drilling technique that has been used for over seven years in many wells where conventional drilling proved impossible or uneconomic 1 – 5 . PMCD is typically used to drill fractured carbonates, where the pore and fluid loss gradient...
