How it improves performance

MPD provides a mud-weight-on-demand circulation system that delivers faster, more efficient downhole pressure control than conventional mud-weight alteration methods. By enabling precise control and real-time adjustment of wellbore pressure, MPD reduces the frequency of stuck pipe events, minimizes mud losses, and enables a rapid, controlled response to dynamic pressure events such as kicks and ballooning. Ultimately, MPD drives down NPT at the wellsite while enhancing operational safety, efficiency, and overall well performance.

How it works

The @balance Control™ MPD systems continuously receive real-time drilling parameters and dynamically calculate the precise surface pressure required to maintain constant bottomhole pressure throughout every stage of drilling. By accommodating up to three chokes, the @balance Control systems deliver robust performance monitoring and instant support in response to irregular events, including influxes, losses, equipment failures, and shifts in drilling parameters. This agile, automated approach helps optimize the drilling experience—enhancing operational consistency, minimizing risk, and supporting efficient, uninterrupted progress at the wellsite.
