The IADC Critical Issues Middle East 2014 Conference &
Exhibition is a landmark event for the drilling professionals
interested. The conference addresses the real challenges facing the
global drilling industry today and those that will ultimately shape
the industry in the future. Middle East operations has its own
unique set of challenges; this conference will examine those
challenges and explore opportunities to advance drilling
technology, develop solutions to common problems, and improve
performance in the region. In addition, it provides a perfect
opportunity to network, forge business relationships and advance
individual knowledge and technical skills.
IADC Critical Issues Middle East 2014 will focus on regional
Critical Issues and IADC invites submission of visionary abstracts
for cutting-edge solutions aimed toward improving industry
performance. Presentations that focus on lessons learned and how
those lessons point toward a way forward will be particularly

Technologies designed to control annular pressure during
drilling, inclusive of Underbalanced Drilling, Managed Pressure
Drilling and Dual Gradient Drilling are being used in many forms
around the world. UBD continues to maximize reservoir performance,
while MPD techniques spanning onshore performance drilling and
offshore deep and shallow water prospects serve to enhance drilling
safety and minimize NPT. Once considered a futuristic tech-nology,
DGD is now a reality with numerous wells drilled, and many exciting
prospects on the horizon. New applications of these drilling
practices take place every year, and their frequency continues to
grow.
This conference is a world recognized forum to help the energy
industry bet-ter understand the technology and the effective, safe
utilization of the various applications of UBD, MPD and DGD.

Dual Gradient Drilling is a very fast evolving branch of Managed
Pressure Drilling. The Dual Gradient Drilling workshop will explore
several case stud-ies and foster in-depth conversation and
knowledge sharing sessions between our expert speakers and an
eager-to-learn audience around challenges, issues, and available
solutions for this cutting edge drilling technology. A truly
interactive and value-adding workshop not to be missed!
