The first stage of an MPD project is the technical feasibility analysis (quick look) to determine if the project is technically feasible. Beyond can provide an insight into how MPD can help and what would be necessary to drill using MPD techniques.

Once the project has been deemed technically feasible, a rig visit is performed by qualified Beyond personnel to ensure that the MPD equipment can be rigged up safely and efficiently at the rig site. Recommendations can also be made at this stage to optimize time and resources for the operation to be performed.

After the preliminary steps are completed, the Beyond team compiles all the information and generates a complete MPD program that encompasses all the drilling parameters to be followed during the operation. Equipment specifications, procedures and process diagrams are also included in this document.

During the job execution, the equipment is rigged up on location and the MPD program is executed. Beyond generates daily reports and provides 24/7 technical support to ensure all new data and conditions are considered and plans modified if necessary. 24/7 support is provided for drilling hydraulic models, mud rollovers and tripping plans.

After the job is performed, all information generated during the operation is gathered and analyzed to include in an ‘end of well report’ document that contains lessons learnt from the operation as well as actual well information that is very useful for future drilling jobs.
