Automatic Evaluation of Near-Well Formation Flow Interaction during Drilling Operations

Within the next few years wired drill pipe telemetry is expected to revolutionize the ability to measure and transmit downhole<br>pressure, temperature, mechanical forces and formation parameters in real-time during drilling operations. Bandwidth,<br>reliability and availability will improve dramatically and lead to better premises for developing new technology for more<br>advanced drilling methodology. Downhole real-time measurements are expected to be utilized in a broad range of applications<br>compared to today's drilling procedures. Among these are real-time analysis systems, decision support systems or advanced<br>drilling control systems, e.g. for Managed Pressure Drilling or Underbalanced Operations that will be improved and adapted to<br>this new window into the well.
