Managed Pressure Drilling

Benefits of MPD

Our streamlined processes result in reduced logistical demands, smaller environmental footprints, and faster rig-up and rig-down operations.

Experience enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness with Beyond Energy’s innovative drilling solutions.

Backed by 24/7 engineering support and a highly experienced team, Beyond Energy is your partner in achieving optimal performance and sustainability in drilling operations.

Cost savings

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) can save customers money by optimizing drilling operations and improving efficiency. Here are several ways in which managed pressure drilling can contribute to cost savings:

  1. Reduced non-productive time (NPT): MPD helps minimize drilling issues such as kicks, losses, and wellbore instability, leading to less non-productive time. By maintaining precise control over wellbore pressure, MPD helps prevent well control incidents and drilling problems, reducing the time and costs associated with addressing these issues.
  2. Faster Drilling Rates: By using lower mud weight, MPD can potentially improve the rates of penetration (ROP), thus improving the drilling time.

Additional benefits

  • Our MERCURY MPD™ package requires only a single truckload to the site, while our complete NITRO MPD™ package requires only 3 loads, compared to 5-6 loads for packages available in the market today.

  • Our integrated package requires less piping, and with our self-erecting systems, no crane is needed for rig-up and rig-down operations.

  • Beyond’s patented Walking System allows for an even faster rig-up and rig-down on multi-well pads since modifying the existing system for well-to-well mobilization is unnecessary. This system is offered with our complete NITRO MPD™ package.

  • For our NITRO MPD™ package, no additional interconnecting pipework is needed between the choke manifold and the separator. Only 2 skids are required for the manifold, metering system, separator, flare stack, and pipe baskets.

  • No crew is required for MERCURY MPD™. For our NITRO MPD™, our standard crew for 24-hour operations consists of only 3 people on-site, covering site supervision, equipment maintenance, RCD operations, and continuous pressure monitoring and management.

  • The automated backpressure control system was designed by actual users with in-depth knowledge of MPD operations. It was created to deliver rapid and accurate pressure control while providing flexibility to operate under a wide range of conditions.

  • With the top Engineering team in the business, our staff assists our valued customers with designing their wells, supporting the field operations 24/7, monitoring all drilling activities while ensuring the technical integrity of the drilling operations.

  • All our senior supervisory staff have 15+ years of global knowledge in MPD and UBD applications worldwide, ensuring your well is in the best hands possible.

  • Our experienced team has drilled over 2,500 wells in the last 8 years, ranging from multiphase operations to HPHT wells with no practical drilling window, under various conditions around the globe.

In summary, Managed Pressure Drilling can save customers money by minimizing downtime, increasing drilling efficiency, optimizing wellbore stability, and improving overall well performance. The specific economic benefits will depend on the project, geological conditions, and the extent to which MPD technologies are integrated into the drilling operations.
