Automated Well Control.
Faster.
Smarter.
Our proprietary technology uses advanced control algorithms to accurately monitor, detect and react to influxes.
Leading-edge Technology
We aim to reduce influx size and mitigate blowouts. With Automated Well Control, you get more precise and faster response to a well control event. As a result, you can reduce well control risks and optimise operational performance.
When an influx is identified, Automated Well Control actively controls the rig, performing a series of commands to space out, stop the top drive, shut down the pumps and shut-in the BOP.
The heart of the Automated Well Control system is a Programmable Logic Controller using very high-level components. Simple to install, an HMI screen is incorporated into an existing screen. Using control algorithms, the controller accurately monitors the parameters from existing sensor package and controls the existing rig equipment.
Reliable automation for every well.
Whatever challenges your company faces, we aim to provide you with a tailored solution to support your operations.
With our Automated Well Control system, you can reduce the amount of time spent on well kill operations, which can lead to time and cost savings.
With our expertise, you can be assured that the most precise and accurate technology is being applied to protect your people, the environment, assets, and reputation.
