Formation Pressure While Drilling

05 June 2013 Dear Drilling Community,

I'd like to know the forum's experiences (good or bad) regarding formation pressure while drilling tools. I am working on a wireline logging minimization project. The objective is to save rig time by acquiring the formation pressure data while drilling. The tools will be run in slimhole (6⅛"). The average number of pressure samples per well will be ±25. The inclination ranges from 35 to 60°. Drilling fluid is saraline SBM, 10-13 ppg. Does the forum have any experience in running slimhole formation pressure tools? I would like to know average time per sample, procedures, risks, vendor preferences and any recommendations or useful feedback.

Thank you all in advance for your support & expertise
