Drilling
More than 900 drilling and well professionals from 30+ countries gathered at APDT 2026 in Bali to explore how AI, automation, and advanced well technologies are driving safer, smarter, and more efficient drilling across Asia Pacific.
As managed pressure drilling gains traction, its principles are influencing a wider range of well-construction activities.
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
