This paper examines the relationship among real-time annular pressure recording, equivalent circulating density (ECD) stabilization, and reservoir pressure following total loss events during drilling. Specifically, it evaluates the widespread practice of increasing mud cap weight after losses, examines its impact on...

This paper presents a critical well integrity case study detailing the misinterpretation of downhole ballooning as formation influx during the drilling of a fractured carbonate interval. The objective is to demonstrate how diagnostic uncertainty and incomplete use of real-time downhole pressure data led to escalating...

Geothermal energy is a key pillar of the low-carbon energy transition, yet project success remains highly sensitive to subsurface uncertainty and up-front capital expenditures. This paper examines how modern geophysical, geochemical, and digital technologies can be integrated into a staged exploration workflow that l...
