What are some of the additional benefits?
Beyond pressure control, EC-Drill® boosts drilling efficiency by enabling dynamic BHP management, simplifying cementing, improving string conveyance, enhancing logging, and reducing sticking risks.
Once the EC-Drill® system has been installed on the rig, our clients typically see additional applications for EC-Drill® to improve drilling efficiency, including:
- Changing BHP without changing mud weights saving circulation time
- Ability to apply a trip margin without changing mud weight
- Improved and simpler cementing operations via MPC
- Improved ability to convey completion strings to TD
- Longer Horizontal Sections drilled
- Benefit from the Dual Gradient Effect to combine sections speed up operations
- Reduced overbalance during logging runs improving logging results
- Reduced differential sticking condition
