Improved Influx Management

Two methods for better Influx Management with MPD. 

Controlling and Circulating Out an Influx With MPD 

Conventional well control can be time consuming and challenging. This applies especially in Deepwater operations because of narrow windows and long choke line. 

When using a surface choke to manage an influx the pressure gradient becomes higher at the Shoe risking formation breakdown.

Managing Influxes With Less Back Pressure

Combining two MPD methods, Controlled Mud Level and Surface Back Pressure in a Dual system with a Closure Device in the Riser enables two approaches for managing an influx while applying less pressure from surface.

Influx Management With a Subsea Pump Module

By establishing a circulation system for the top-holes, a regular mud system can be used continuously instead of the “Pump and Dump” approach.

Influx Management With Surface Back Pressure

Drilling with Controlled Mud Level involves using a higher density fluid. Bypass the SPM after the Riser Closure Device is closed and get additional pressure from a longer column of fluid. Less back-pressure is required enabling larger size influxes to be handled with lower pressure at the Shoe and on surface lines and equipment.

The Best of Both Worlds

With the EC-Drill® Dual MPD system the benefits of Surface Back Pressure and Controlled Mud Level are combined. For Influx Management this means handling larger size influxes with less back-pressure applied and lower pressures at the Shoe.

EC-Drill® Dual MPD

Operating with Controlled Mud Level while adding functionality of back pressure

The system seamlessly switches from the default CML mode to back-pressure mode offering the best of both MPD worlds. 

Key Benefits:

  • Improved Influx Management
  • Adding SBP functionality and avoiding its disadvantages
  • Maintain the flexibility and benefits of operating with CML
