The present crude oil and natural gas reservoirs around the world have depleted conventional productionlevels. To continue enhancing productivity for the remaining mature reservoirs, drilling decision-makers couldno longer rely on traditional balanced or overbalanced methods of drilling. Derived from conventional airdrilling, underbalanced drilling is increasingly necessary to meet today's energy and drilling needs. While morecostly and extreme, underbalanced drilling can minimize pressure within the formation, increase drilling rateof penetration, reduce formation damage a
