Compare mud density required to drill second well safely


A tilted gas sand encountered at 4,500 ft is known to have a pore pressure of 2,700 psig. A well is to be drilled near the top of the structure, which is expected to penetrate the sand at 3,500 ft. The gas is known to have a density of 1.0 ppg at reservoir conditions. Compare the mud density required to drill the second well safely with that of the first.
