Tight operating margins or abnormal reservoirs create complex wells. Merlin’s MPD service is designed to allow Operators to understand the options available and how these techniques will create benefit through the design and execution stages of their well delivery process.

Slide 1
Rig Integration
Building an MPD spread on the rig and integrating it into into the drilling package takes time, effort and experience. There is a huge range of variables to be considered – the system set up, available space, available power, piping requirements, certification and warranty considerations, manning levels and so on. All conspire to cause problems which need attention to detail in the planning and execution phases. Merlin’s experience allows us to help you avoid the opportunities for cost over-run and delay which comes with the territory.
MPD, PMCD, riser mud-level control, it doesn’t matter what set up you are using, we can support you on location when drilling ahead in your sensitive hole sections.
Annular Velocity (AV) is one of the “Three Pillars” of effective hole cleaning in high-angle wellbores, with the other two being pipe rotation and the low-end rheology of the drilling fluid.
Challenging projects need rock-solid definition and a deep understanding of risk to ensure that engineers create solutions which preserve or enhance value. Merlin’s team of creative problem-solvers are on-hand to support your requirements in each of our core service areas.
Training
Better trained people make better decisions. It is really that simple. If the plan is pushing the team out of their comfort zone, time in the classroom learning about the fundamentals and talking through critical success factors will improve reliability of well delivery.
