National Oil Company TPAO has drilled 3 ultra deep wells in BlackSea as an operator and a
partner in a joint venture. TPAO‘s Exploration efforts in BlackSea Ultra Deep Water will enlighten
the future Exploration Campaigns in BlackSea. Exploration or Drilling Campaigns do not start
with bit in the hole, it starts far before then. It starts with detailed planning and it ends not with
bit out of the hole but capturing the lessons learned from the plans applied. In this paper; how
pore pressure estimation and real time pore pressure affect the casing design in Black Sea and
the future recommendations will be discussed.
