Dual gradient drilling is a critical enabler for deepwater drilling. IADC’s pioneering forum in May 2011, set a standard for evaluating the techniques and communicating the benefits, challenges and potential of this landmark technology. Building on the success of the inaugural event, the 2012 IADC Dual Gradient Drilling Seminar will further explore the implementation of this cutting-edge technology in the areas of well control, well design and equipment integration.
