Overview of At Balance Pressure Control Technology
|
|
Dynamic Control Dynamic control refers to active backpressure supply and management during any pressure transition in which the return flow rate drops or stops completely. Our Dynamic Annular Pressure Control system is an active system that provides on-demand flow with a dedicated backpressure pump and precise adjustment with a fast acting choke manifold under the automated control of an integrated pressure management system. |

Integrated Contol
The integrated structure of the DAPC system allows it to actively stabilize the BHP and respond at a speed other pressure management systems cannot achieve. Our hydraulics model and programmable controller are integrated into a high speed pressure management network which allows us to continuously analyze, measure, and monitor on-going pressure conditions and detect imbalances early. This Integrated Pressure Manager maintains real-time communications with the backpressure pump and choke manifold to quickly adjust to changing conditions to maintain the backpressure at the required level for constant bottomnhole pressure. Working continuously and quickly to stabilize and control the bottomhole pressure our integrated, dynamic pressure management system is able to boost drilling performance by eliminating losses, kicks, stuck pipe, and wellbore instability. Expanded Technology Offering The recent agreement between At Balance and Smith has expanded the pressure control technology offered with APD services to include:
