the narrow operating window between pore pressure and fracture pressure makes drilling difficult in some operations. a feasibility study of managed pressure drilling (mpd) is carried out on iran darquain oil field. the previous wells drilled in this field showed that mud returns were lost during drilling gadvan formation. the present work addresses this problem by means of surface back pressure...

in the form of passive seismic methods, broadband seismometers have been used in hydrocarbon exploration. the frequency bandwidth typically studied is in the range of 1–6 hz. the observations on low frequency band of microtremors are used to calculate the spectral ratio of vertical and horizontal components (v/h) and power spectral density (psd). attributes based on the v/h ratio and the psd ha...
