High-pressure, high-temperature
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001827
Describing subsurface environments characterized by reservoir pressures exceeding 10,000 psi and temperatures above 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Drilling and completing wells in HPHT conditions requires specialized equipment, materials, and drilling fluids designed to withstand extreme stresses. These conditions present challenges for wellbore stability, equipment integrity, and fluid properties.
