Physical experiment on the feasibility of variable-gradient drilling method based on downhole separator

The special temperature-pressure environment and narrow safety density window of the deepwater formation pose a great challenge to wellbore pressure control during drilling. The downhole variable-gradient drilling method is an effective idea to solve this challenge. However, previous studies mainly...
