... technology proposed solutions in the unconventional, more efficient and safer ways by utilizing a sophisticated MPD system that provides precise, fully automatic bottom-hole pressure control almost instantly, when compared to conventional methods. MPD engineering team had established solid procedures...

... automated MPD system, as a starting point MPD static pore pressure test (PPT) precisely detected pore pressure of water flow zone, establishing the low limit of the drilling window. During successful drilling of 3,027 feet in horizontal section, the influx was forced to move down to the lower loss zone...

... was used for continuous circulation across the top of the well during connections. The system was also used while cementing the liner to manipulate equivalent mud weight. The fully automated MPD system was used while drilling various hole sections. This resulted in a mud program which allowed for a mud...
