Superior Pressure Management
in Depleted Reservoirs

Drilling in depleted zones requires adaptability to handle the variable pressures and reduced fracture gradients.

Why Depletion Challenges Traditional Drilling Approaches

Depletion leads to reduced reservoir pressures and altered stress regimes, creating narrow operating windows. These conditions increase the risk of lost circulation. With variable pore pressures and weakened formation structures, maintaining well integrity becomes a complex, high-stakes endeavor.

Solve Depletion Challenges | Enhanced Drilling

Adapt to Depleted Reservoir Challenges–In Real Time

Traditional drilling techniques struggle under the unpredictable conditions of depleted reservoirs. The EC-Drill® technology offers a dynamic, real-time solution to manage annular pressures precisely, adapting to changes as they occur and ensuring operational safety and efficiency.

Adaptive Drilling in
Depleted Zones

Depleted reservoirs demand not just control but real-time adaptability and foresight. EC-Drill® gives you the tools to manage these challenges:

EC-Drill® 

Control the Annular Pressure

With EC-Drill® the initial annular pressure can start out above the highest potential pore pressure while drilling into a depleted zone. When encountering depleted zones with a lower pressure the riser fluid level can be lowered to match the new operational window caused by depletion. 

At any time, the annular pressure can be moved back to the initial point by raising the fluid level in the riser.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Adjust bottom hole pressure according to actual degree of depletion
  • Hydrostatic pressure below what is achievable conventionally
  • Drill longer wells and unlock new reserves

EC-Drill® Dual MPD

Determine boundaries and prevent well control

In addition to managing depletion the EC-Drill® Dual MPD system can dynamically determine the actual operating window and control and circulated out influxes.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Dynamic Pore Pressure Testing to determine degree of depletion
  • Influx Management for handling pockets of virgin pressure, or influxes caused by loss event
