The intent of the matrix is to balance operational, well and equipment limitations with 鈥渁cceptable鈥 influx volumes. The operations matrix has become the cornerstone of MPD projects worldwide and is a mandatory component of planned MPD wells in the US Gulf of Mexico...

The evolution of drilling programs has driven drill string manufacturers to engineer new drill pipe solutions to safely develop the most challenging horizontal and extended-reach drilling (ERD) well profiles.

Deepwater offshore reservoirs often exist where the required pressure from the drilling mud for well control is very near the pressure at which overlying layers can break down, resulting in loss of circulation of drilling mud to thief zones, inviting dangerous kicks of high-pressure gas and oil. Such narrow drilling pressure windows leave razor-thin margins for error...

South Sumatra is a Tertiary back-arc basin, approximately 500 km by 300 km. The pre-Tertiary rocks provide the lower reservoir portion of the gas field, while the upper portion of the reservoir is within porous Tertiary sediments of the Lower Talang Akar and Batu Raja formations.
