Precision Pressure Control for
Narrow Operating Windows

Drilling through tight pressure margins demands more than precision – it requires full control. 

Why Narrow Operating Windows Demand Smarter Solutions

When the margin between pore pressure and fracture pressure narrows down, drilling becomes more than difficult — it becomes undrillable with a conventional approach - or risky and expensive. Narrow Operating Windows can lead to gains, losses, and wellbore collapse. For operators, that means increased operational time, spiraling costs, and added complexity.

We help you regain control.

Narrow Operating Windows in Deepwater | Enhanced Drilling

Apply Constant Bottom Hole Pressure (CBHP) and Adapt to Pressure Changes–In Real Time

Traditional drilling methods struggle with narrow windows. The margin for error is small — and so is the tolerance for risk. Enhanced Drilling's EC-Drill® system offers a smarter, safer way forward with the ability to hold a CBHP and adjust real-time according to actual well conditions.

It enables consistent and safe drilling — even when the operating window leaves no room for error.

Constant Bottom Hole Pressure (CBHP)

The classic MPD approach. Maintain a near CBHP for all operations to steer through the narrow windows without inducing losses or causing influxes. By adjusting the fluid level in the Riser, the pressure in the well is kept near constant for static and dynamic conditions.

 

Smart Pressure Control

To safely and efficiently navigate Narrow Operating Windows, you need technologies offering more than just control — you need adaptability, precision, and real-time insight. Our solution is purpose-built to help you maintain pressure stability, reduce risk, and stay on schedule — even in the most demanding wells. Receive instant feedback on gains or losses and adjust your setpoint value according to actual well conditions.

Technologies

To operate in narrow windows the MPD solution must do more than hold a CBHP when drilling – it needs to provide the same support when tripping and cementing. Our methods ensures a smooth ride.

EC-Drill®

Controlled Mud Level for Precision Pressure Management

EC-Drill® gives you full control of the pressure gradient by adjusting the fluid level in the marine riser–without needing to displace the well or interrupt operations. Adjust the fluid level to improve margins for tripping to prevent swab induced kicks, or losses caused by the surge effect.

A robust solution for successfully drilling in Narrow Operating Windows.

Key Benefits:

  • Adjust pressure up or down as desired
  • Maintain precise pressure control
  • Improve tripping margins
  • Simplify and optimize operations

EC-Drill® Dual MPD

Combining CML with SBP for optimal pressure management

Optimize all operations with CML in narrow operating windows and add improved influx management capabilities on top. The superior tool for all pressure management needs – and beyond.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Improved Influx Management
  • Less pressure on weak formation and on surface
  • Dynamic pore pressure testing

EC-Monitor™

Real-Time Kick & Loss Detection for Safer Operations

EC-Monitor™ continuously tracks fluid volumes and flow rates, enabling you to detect and respond to small influxes or losses before they escalate. The system improves situational awareness at the rig and supports safer, faster and more accurate well control decisions.  

Key Benefits:

  • Continuous monitoring
  • Volume control directly on the well
  • Eliminate uncertainties
  • Instant Kick and Loss Detection
