DRILLING THROUGH AN INTERBEDDED SAND-SHALE SEQUENCED HETEROLITHIC RESERVOIR: MANAGING KICKS AND LOSSES

The drilling of a heterolithic reservoir is considered to be one of the most difficult challenges in the drilling industry due to its unpredictable nature especially when it comes to the exploration phase as with the lack of information, most of the time there will be issues encountered as the chara...
