Benefits of MPD

Cost Savings

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) can save money through optimised drilling operations and improved efficiency. Here are several ways in which managed pressure drilling can contribute to cost savings for you as customer:

  • Reduced non-productive time (NPT): MPD helps minimise drilling issues such as kicks, losses, and wellbore instability, leading to less non-productive time.

  • Faster Drilling Rates: By using lower mud weight, MPD can improve the Rates of Penetration (ROP), thus improving the drilling time.

  • Use of lighter drilling fluid: The use of light drilling fluids, reduces costs and lowers operational impact.

  • Saving of casing strings within the fracture and pore pressure: Casing string savings are achieved by maintaining the Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) within fracture and pore pressure limits, reducing material and operational expenses.

  • Drilling of long laterals minimising carbon footprint: Long lateral drilling enables the extraction of greater volumes from fewer wells, significantly reducing both costs and the carbon footprint.

by using Beyond Energy Equipment

Less Loads to Transport

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.

Faster and Less Expensive Rig up and Rig down

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

Unique MPD Package Walking System

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 mobilisation is unnecessary. This system is offered with our complete NITRO MPD™ package.

Smaller Footprint

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.

Minimum Crew On-site

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.

24/7 Engineering Support

With our real-time operations control centre, our team of engineers assist our valued customers with designing their wells, supporting field operations 24/7, and monitoring all drilling activities while ensuring the technical integrity of the drilling operations.

State of the Art Backpressure Control System

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.

Extensive Know-how

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.

Long-standing Experience

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.
