Snub Drilling
Snub Drilling Overview If very high formation pressures and uncontrollable loss of circulation are expected during underbalanced drilling, use of a snubbing or a coiled tubing (CT) unit may be necessary. This type of underbalanced drilling is known as snub drilling. Snub drilling should be considered for wells with: Very high …
