Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Gildas Guefack's research focuses on the application of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques in challenging wellbore conditions. His work specifically investigates the successful drilling of wells with narrow pressure windows and fractured formations, often in the presence of wellbore instability and formation pressure uncertainties. Guefack has published on the use of MPD in conventionally undrillable wells over the last five years in the USA and Canada, as well as its application during the COVID-19 pandemic in Central Europe. His research also details the successful drilling of a Central European well after multiple prior failures. Guefack has a h-index of 2 with 3 total publications and 11 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, including Sagar Nauduri, Ahmed Shimi, Martyn Parker, and Jason Morris.
