Pressure lower/higher than expected
After drilling and testing the well, the pressure might be below what was estimated during conception phases and result in overall low system performances from the beginning of the project as difficulties might be encountered when reinjecting the fluids or when producing. This risk is generally accounted for during project development phase using uncertainty analysis and modelling of the doublet based on exploration data collected.
