High Pressure. Wells are considered as High Pressure when: the maximum pore pressure of any porous formation to be drilled through exceeds a hydrostatic equivalent of 0.18bar/m (0.8psi/ft) or a well which requires an equivalent mud weight of 1.85 SG (15.4ppg) or requiring pressure control equipment with a rated working pressure in excess of 69Mpa (690 bar or 10,000psi).
