Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002435

Managed Pressure Drilling, a technique used to precisely control the annular pressure profile throughout the wellbore. This method aims to minimize formation damage, prevent kicks, and reduce lost circulation by maintaining a constant bottomhole pressure. MPD systems often incorporate specialized surface equipment to achieve this precise pressure management.
