Directional Drilling of MTC Structures

02 September 2015 Does anybody have experience with directional drilling offshore (deepwater) in Mass Transport Complex (MTC) structures.
Should we be concerned about wellbore stability (more that normal) when doing directional drilling in these structures?
I would be pleased to learn of any experience people have with directional drilling these formations or of development-projects that have drilled these formations. 

BTW MTCs are the result of slumping of deepwater sediment. The slumped formations no longer display their orginal bedding but have turned into a jumbled mess.
