Introduction

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) Technologies and Operations

 

What are the Goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the principles, classifications, and benefits of MPD
  • Identify and operate key components of MPD systems
  • Analyze pressure profiles and determine correct pressure control strategies
  • Apply MPD techniques to mitigate common drilling hazards (kicks, loss circulation, etc.)
  • Evaluate the economic and operational feasibility of MPD in field operations
