OverviewAI-generated summary

Sagar Nauduri's research focuses on wellbore stability and drilling operations, particularly within unconventional formations. His work has investigated the successful application of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques, including those with Contingency Managed Pressure Drilling (CBHP) and Permanent Magnet Coupling Drive (PMCD) systems, in challenging geological environments. Publications detail the successful drilling of wells with ultra-narrow pressure windows and fractured formations, even during periods of pandemic-related disruption. These studies highlight strategies for overcoming wellbore instability and managing formation pressure uncertainties in shale plays across North America and Central Europe. Nauduri has authored 19 publications, accumulating 132 citations and an h-index of 7. He collaborates with faculty members at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, including Gildas Guefack, Ahmed Shimi, and Martyn Parker.
