Challenge: Drill a deep exploration well in an ultraHPHT environment
while managing a high risk of influx with potential catastrophic
consequences
Solution: Use the @balance Speed X2 large-ID rotating control device
(RCD) to drill the last two sections of the exploration well at high c/min
speeds, decrease NPT, and eliminate the need to rig down the RCD or one of its
components
Results: Successfully drilled the well to TD without incidents while
reducing NPT by enabling the @balance Speed sealed rotating system (SRS) to be
stabbed offline
