Does the EC-Drill® system affect Barriers and Well Control?
EC-Drill® does not significantly alter barriers or well control.
The EC-Drill® system does not make a major change to barriers and well control. The primary barrier to well flow remains the mud with density monitored. We add to this monitoring of the riser level with the redundant riser level sensors.
The secondary barrier remains the BOP, wellhead, casing and cement, and conventional well control procedures are used.
