Managed Pressure Drilling
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) equipment is used by the operating oil companies during drilling operations to complement the existing drilling package when drilling through difficult reservoir sections which require to be drilled balanced or slightly underbalanced to avoid kick/ loss situations which can result in very expensive lost drilling time.
MTC manufactures both a high pressure API 5000psi gate valve type MPD manifold for offshore and onshore use and also a lower pressure ANSI #900 2000psi Ball valve type MPD manifold. MTC also manufactures a range of skid mounted and trailer mountedUnderbalanced Drilling (UBD) equipment which can include the integration of the above MPD equipment when required.
MTC also maintains a stock of mass flow Coriolis metering manifold skids and a range of high pressure 5Kpsi and low pressure 2Kpsi large bore piping packages on transportation racks for MPD or UBD applications. MTC can also provide additional equipment such as specifically designed mud gas separator (MGS) skids on a made to order basis.
Buffer Manifold Package
The MTC Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) Buffer manifold and Control system package with Accumulator rack has been designed and manufactured to complement the existing range of MTC MPD Back pressure control manifolds and related equipment to offer the Drilling and Well service industry providers an all in one complete solution to their needs for DNV-OS-E101 offshore class rig ready equipment from stock or with an advanced delivery.
MPD Manifold Package
The MTC Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) manifold has been designed to automatically maintain the annulus surface back pressure during drilling operations within a predetermined pressure operating window using a set of two tight shut off capable electrically or hydraulically actuated full boredrilling chokes which are controlled by a PLC based system to maintain the selected set point pressure using an HMI interface panel for operator input of required settings and for displaying control system input and output parameters.
