Re-use Fluid System and Reduce Cement and Chemical Consumption

Avoiding “Pump and Dump” on top-holes greatly saves on chemical consumption and logistical demands. Not needing tripping fluid, cementing fluid and drilling fluid with MPD further reduces transportation needs further.

By combining sections, the number of casings/liners and cement jobs are reduced requiring less bulk to be shipped. The use of Managed Pressure Cementing can prevent the need for additional types of cement needed on location.

Zero discharge reduces consumption    

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

Combining Sections Requires Less Cement

Whether combining sections using Dual Gradient Drilling on top-holes or benefiting from the Dual Gradient Effect for the intermediate sections there is one casing/liner less to cement. 

Consistent Use of Same Cement Through MPC

For Managed Pressure Cementing of top-holes or with Controlled Mud Level for the rest of the well, standard type cement can be used removing the need for special blends to be shipped to location.
