Contracts, UBO/MPO key IADC interests

摘要

Advancing underbalanced operations and managed pressure drilling is a high-activity area for IADC. Vice President, Middle East and Asia, Ken Fischer, provides support for technical committees for underbalanced operations and managed pressure drilling. During the fourth quarter 2004, the Underbalanced Operations Committee expanded its scope of activities to include the techniques comprising managed pressure drilling, thus becoming known as the Underbalanced Operations and Managed Pressure Drilling Committee. The new name reflects the members' interest in MPD while recognizing and building upon the standards and practices developed for underbalanced drilling technology.
