DAPC System Components

...Choke Manifold

...Backpressure Pump

...Integrated Pressure Manager

Stabilizing pressure imbalances and drilling with constant bottomhole pressure (BHP) mitigates the risks that can lead to critical drilling events such as kicks, inlux, balloning, stuck pipe, and lost circulation.

Our patented Dynamic Annular Pressure Control^TM (DAPC^TM) system provides a suite of pressure management tools that save money and time that would otherwise be spent controlling crtitical well control events.

Our DAPC system maintains a constant, stable drilling pressure using:

• A fully automated choke manifold
• A dedicated, on-demand backpressure pump
  
• An accurate Coriolis flow meter
  
• A high speed, fully Integrated Pressure Manager
  

Our system includes safety critical process control technology linked through a high speed network to the pump, manifold, and an accurate, real-time hydraulics model. The IPM works around the clock to monitor, measure, and control BHP within prescribed limits.

Operators get continuous BHP control: during connections, while drilling with pipe, coiled tubing, or liner, during pipe trips, even during planned and unplanned events when the mud flow drops below safe levels or stops completely.
