OverviewAI-generated summary

Sagar Nauduri's research centers on the application of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques in unconventional oil and gas wells, particularly those with narrow pressure windows that are traditionally considered undrillable. His work has focused on successful drilling operations in challenging geological formations, including fractured shale plays in the USA, Canada, and Central Europe. Nauduri has investigated the use of MPD with specific contingencies, such as the Managed Pressure Drilling with a Rotating Control Device (PMCD) system, to overcome wellbore instability and formation pressure uncertainties. His publications have detailed the application of these methods during significant global events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the adaptability and effectiveness of MPD in maintaining drilling operations under adverse conditions. Nauduri has a publication record of 19 papers, with an h-index of 7 and 132 citations. He has collaborated with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, including Gildas Guefack, Ahmed Shimi, Martyn Parker, and Jason Morris.
