Company Background

Since its incorporation in December 2004, @balance has lead the trend in automated managed pressure drilling - an upstream technology segment focused on delivering the benefits of constant bottomhole pressure control.

The @balance Dynamic Annular Pressure Control System provides reliable automated control for constant bottomhole pressure during all phases of well construction.

Operators drilling with constant bottomhole pressure reduce conventional drilling cost, reduce formation damage, and enable drilling in areas with pressure margins too narrow and technically difficult for conventional techniques.

 



The world's leading supplier of technology, integrated project management, and information solutions to customers working in the oil and gas industry worldwide.

With the merger between Schlumberger and Smith a new business was formed called Dynamic Pressure Management comprised of MPD, UBD, and pressure control systems and services from @balance, Optimal Pressure Drilling Services, Smith, and M-I SWACO. This new segment will focus on delivering engineered solutions to pressure related and potential well control problems in difficult and conventionally impossible to drill fields.
