摘要 | A rotating control apparatus, comprising: an outer member; an inner member having a first sealing element and a second sealing element; said inner member, said first sealing element and said second sealing element rotatable relative to said outer member; a first cavity defined by said inner member, said first sealing element and said second sealing element; and said inner member having a port to said first cavity. Disclosed is also a method for drilling a wellbore in a formation with a fluid, comprising the steps of: casing a portion of the wellbore using a casing having a casing shoe; determining a casing shoe pressure; determining a formation fracture pressure; positioning a rotating control device with said casing; and drilling the wellbore at a fluid pressure calculated using the lesser of the casing shoe pressure and the formation fracture pressure. |
