The SPE/IADC Managed Pressure Drilling & Underbalanced Operations Conference & Exhibition is renowned as a pivotal platform where cutting-edge technologies in drilling are showcased. A focus is placed on the innovative methods designed to control annular pressure during drilling operations. Techniques such as Underbalanced Drilling (UBD), Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), and Dual Gradient Drilling (DGD) are highlighted, with their applications being explored in various global contexts. These methodologies are being employed to maximize reservoir performance and enhance drilling safety, while minimizing Non-Productive Time (NPT).

Attendees will find that the conference serves as an invaluable resource for gaining insights into the latest advancements and applications of these drilling techniques. The transition of DGD from a futuristic concept to a practical reality is emphasized, with numerous wells having been successfully drilled using this technology. The conference provides a comprehensive understanding of how these technologies are evolving and being implemented across both onshore and offshore projects, including deep and shallow water prospects.

As the frequency of new applications for UBD, MPD, and DGD continues to grow, the conference stands as a world-recognized forum for the energy industry. The event facilitates a deeper understanding of these technologies and their effective, safe utilization. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with experts and peers, fostering an environment of learning and collaboration. The conference is positioned as a key event for those seeking to stay at the forefront of drilling technology and its applications in the ever-evolving energy sector.
