The Schlumberger integrated MPD solution includes design, engi- neering, manufacturing, system integration, well engineering, and onsite well delivery services from one supplier. Operators and drillers are also benefitting from real-time advice, available through the recently introduced OptiDill real- time drilling intelligence service that helps mitigate risk and increase efficiency during drilling. The drilling intelligence ser- vice is offering early detection of rate of penetration limiters and drilling hazards, and drillers receive immediate guidance on how to mitigate severe downhole dynamics so that the bottom hole assembly (BHA) is protected and the bit run is extended, Game-changing MPD optimisation ‘The integrated MPD offering provides optimisation of drill- ing and production operations. The MPD control system can be precisely sealed to customer needs or specifie well demands, cording to the level of well complexity. I also festures enhanced kick detection, to automatically respond with the required choke ‘control solution to reduce environmental impact. Operators can, eliminate extra runs and improve well productivity as a result of ‘reduced formation damage. The system significantly reduces non- AV=VA raids ‘productive time resulting from mud losses, and ‘he potential for stuck pipe events during drilling and tripping operations. Other benefits include lower total cosrf ownership, and a single point of contact with accountability forall aspects of the system throughout the MPD operation, Real-time expert driling advice ‘The OptiDrill real-time drilling intelligence service mitigates drilling risk through the com- bination of downhole automated algorithms. The algorithms enable continuous identification of hazardous drilling dynamics events, and provide the operator with information as well as real-time guidelines for immediate action, while drilling.
