Deepwater extraction presents unique challenges to wellbore stability due to the extreme forces encountered at depth. Underwater formations often consist of soft sediments that are susceptible to collapse under the weight of the drilling structure. Additionally, high hydrostatic force from the surrounding water column can exacerbate this risk. To
Improving HPHT Frac Plug Performance
Successfully executing high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) frac plug systems demands a multifaceted approach. Operators must carefully determine plug materials and designs tailored to the specific wellbore characteristics. Effective plug installation techniques, including proper pumping rates and monitoring strategies, are crucial for minimizing
