    Underbalance conditions can lead to kicks if the well encounters porous or permeable formations, or if underbalance is created by swabbing. Maintaining an appropriate overbalance through accurate mud weight design using additional downhole tools can help address this issue. Careful analysis of well data allows engineers to understand the formation pressure profile and minimize the risk of kicks during underbalanced drilling.

    Problems associated with underbalance

    Kicks - if porosity and permeability are encountered when in an underbalance condition, or


    underbalance is created by swabbing, a kick may occur. ADT work can allow this overbalance and
    therefore optimum mud weight to be achieved. Accurate and timely analysis of information can allow
    engineers to have a good handle on the formation pressure regime
