Beyond has designed two distinct Choke Manifold Buildings, depending on the customer’s needs.
MERCURY MPD™ is an entry-level, low-cost MPD system with a minimal footprint and only requires one truckload to mobilize. This system is fully automated, offers complete digital integration with the rig, and can be operated with no MPD personally on-site.
This is Beyond’s flagship system package that is a fully loaded MPD system intended for truly challenging MPD applications. This system incorporates advanced Hydraulic models to control downhole ECD during drilling and tripping operations with pinpoint accuracy and is perfect for drilling narrow window wells. It allows for early event detection against kicks and losses and includes our patented Nitrogen BackPressure system. This feature ensures you retain dynamic control of your well even in static well conditions such as connections or power loss at the rig.
Our Nitrogen BackPressure Management System automatically maintains surface backpressure during static periods in case of pump or choke failure. The automated backpressure control system has been designed by actual users who have in-depth knowledge of MPD operations and was created to deliver rapid and accurate pressure control while providing flexibility to operate under a wide range of conditions.

Beyond offers a Gas Buster / Separator specifically designed for MPD and Flow Drilling applications, where gas needs to be removed from the drilling fluid and cuttings mixture. The BIG-B has been designed to avoid the need for cranes during rig up and rig down operations and minimize the footprint by housing the MPD manifold building and separator in the same skid.
Besides our BIG-B Separator model, Beyond also offers a standard high capacity Gas Liquid Separator for Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) operations that require handling a continuous flow of gas, liquid, and cuttings.
Our Flare Stack complements the MPD system by offering a safe and reliable way to flare gas returns from the wellbore. The Flare Stack is designed to self-erect, saving time and money from the conventional design that requires a crane to rig up and rig down the MPD system.
Beyond’s Flare Stack offers an integrated solution that contains an advanced ignition system and a flame arrestor with a bypass for emergencies.
The Flare Stack Skid has been designed to accommodate pipe baskets, eliminating additional trucks during transportation.
Run the most efficient MPD operation with Beyond MPD technology: Minimize the rig down and rig up time between wells on the same well pad using our MPD Skid Walking System.
For those operators looking to decrease moving times between wells on multi-well pads, Beyond offers a Walking System solution that allows “walking” the skid containing the MPD Choke Manifold Building and the MPD Separator, avoiding the need for crane or pickers as well as the need to rig up or rig down MPD lines while moving between wells.
