Anti-Collision and Kick Tolerance Analysis of Development Wells in Gelama Merah Field

The Gelama Merah (GM) oil and gas field off the coast of Malaysia plays a crucial role in the country's energy sector. This study explores the strategies used in Gelama Merah to prevent collisions and manage sudden pressure increases (kicks) during drilling. Advanced techniques like the IPM kick tolerance calculator and the Ellipse of Uncertainty model are used to ensure drilling safety and minimize risks. The results show that these measures effectively protect drilling operations, providing valuable lessons for future drilling activities in the region.
