Exploring the Benefits of Managed Pressure Drilling with Vertechs

 

This is Vertechs, your one and only source for various forms of drilling solutions. Today we are going to start with the interesting topic, managed pressure drilling (MPD). This technique is currently considered as state of the art in the drilling industry, which presents numerous advantages that make the drilling process safer, more efficient and cheaper. Now it is time for a brief definition of managed pressure drilling, the description of its principles and understanding of how this concept changes the game in the oil and gas industry.

What is Managed Pressure Drilling?

The most innovative technology associated with drilling activity, which aims to maintain a specific pressure in the wellbore, is the managed pressure drilling. Thus, MPD provide greater than control of the well than the conventional method of drilling hence is safer, efficient and cheaper. It enables constant monitoring of the pressure and make the necessary correction to help avoid any risks while drilling.

How Does Managed Pressure Drilling Work?

The managed pressure drilling can be described as a process where several factors are combined to arrive at the right wellbore pressure. Here’s a step-by-step look at how it works:

•          Rotating Control Device (RCD): It is an essential equipment known as RCD that establishes a contact to the drill pipe to circulate drilling fluids and also controls the wellbore pressure.
•          Choke Manifold: It is used for regulating the pressure of the wellbore by restricting the circulation of drilling fluids and gaseous content. In this way, operators can very accurately regulate the pressure by opening or closing chokes.
•          Mud Pumps and Mud System: These systems use drilling fluids in circulating through the wellbore. In MPD, the pressure is kept by the combination of the mud pumps and the choke manifold to a required level.
•          Real-time Monitoring: Technology in the form of wellbore sensors and monitoring tools give up the minute measurements of pressure inside the wells, and flow rates of the fluids etc. This information enables the operators to make the necessary changes in real time to meet the clients’ needs.
•          Control System: It also controls the choke manifold and the mud pumps with data from the monitoring equipment to keep the wellbore pressure within the set limit.

Benefits of Managed Pressure Drilling

•          Enhanced Safety: The oil and gas industry are a safety sensitive one. Managed pressure drilling has the advantage of agreeing with almost 90% of the well control accidents such as blowouts which are very destructive.
•          Increased Efficiency: Flow is one more significant benefit that could be mentioned further to discussing the MPD. Drilling as a process has always incurred some issues that relate with the conventional method of drilling.
•          Cost-Effective Operations: Savings have always been important in any industry and managed pressure drilling comes with savings. Further to this, MPD significantly reduces the downtime and the expensive well control incidents thereby maintaining a budgetary cost.
