HOUSTON —Halliburton and Oil States Industries have formed a collaboration that combines two technology sets to provide users with deepwater managed-pressure drilling (MPD) solutions.
MPD provides operators with improved control when navigating narrow pressure windows compared to conventional drilling. The collaboration between Halliburton and Oil States will provide operators and drilling contractors with an effective and flexible MPD product-service combination to safely access greater operational efficiencies like ease of handling and streamlined installation, Halliburton explained.
Halliburton will combine its services, control systems, digital platform and training with Oil States’ integrated riser joint.
“We’re excited to work with Halliburton to bring our MPD riser integration joint to operators and drilling contractors,” said Garry Stephen, group vice president- UK and Asia with Oil States Industries. “Our system’s innovative design integrates managed pressure drilling and riser gas handling into a compact joint that reduces the rig footprint and potential for trapped gas, while also enabling contractors to transition quickly between MPD and non-MPD modes.”
