| Abstract | A simple technique to measure formation pressures at lost circulation zones while drilling has been developed and tested. To minimise loss of rig time and maintain well condition, a method has been developed where measurements are made inside the drill pipe using normal mechanical downhole pressure gauges. Tests have shown that the technique can measure formation pressure within the normal gauge accuracy. |
