Managed Pressure Cementing system

MPC
Safe isolation through innovation
By using MPC you are effectively
taking out an insurance policy on the
integrity of the top-hole section of the
well. How? Well, rather than taking the
conventional cementing method route
with its associated problems, MPC
offers the user a number of very real
benefts including safety-enhancement
and cost/time advantages.
These can help keep your project safe,
on track and on budget - minimising
the unforeseen and reducing risk, the
very advantages that Enhanced Drilling
made its name with on more than 500
RMR (Riserless Mud Recovery system)
and CTS (Cuttings Transportation
System) jobs to date.
PRECISE CONTROL IS THE KEY
MPC enables its operators to precisely
control the pressure and fow of
returning cement. Constant pressure
is achieved at weak zones, preventing
losses to the formation.
Gas and shallow water hazards are
simply yet effectively kept at bay.
SAFETY, ABOVE ALL
In the case of an infux or loss, rapid
action can be taken by the MPC
operator, quickly and easily, to stop
any situation from escalating. Any loss
or gain can be identifed and rectifed
with Enhanced Drillings proven MPC
component, the Subsea Pump Module.
What is MPC?
The Managed Pressure Cementing system (MPC)
from Enhanced Drilling enables you to safely isolate
problematic zones - cost effectively - even in Narrow
Pressure Window scenarios.

SAFER, FASTER, CHEAPER
The system enables the management of
wellbore pressure during the circulation
of cement slurry and its setting time.
This is done in such a way that unwanted
fuid exchanges between the wellbore
and the casing annulus are avoided.
Crucially, MPC can use conventional
cement rather than more costly foam
or nitrifed cements yet still achieve
effective isolation.
THE CHALLENGE SOLVED
With traditional cementing techniques,
the challenge has always been to
effectively isolate shallow gases and
water in the top-hole section where
unstable, unconsolidated formations
exist.
Low fracture gradients combined with
high-density slurries and circulation
pressure mean that the chances of
fracturing the formation are high,
resulting in losses.
The MPC system allows the operator to
unload the pressure as the heavier fuid
(spacer, cement slurry) fows up the
annulus above the critical zone in order
to compensate for higher hydrostatic
pressure.
MPC keeps the wellbore pressure at the
critical zone constant. The result? No
losses and a cement job you can depend
on.
With conventional cementing technique
in the setting stage, a loss in hydrostatic
pressure brings with it an increase in
the likelihood of a fuid-bearing
formation fowing into the annulus
- which could ultimately lead to well-
abandonment.
BRINGING CERTAINTY TO THE TASK
MPC offers the following advantages
when it comes to ensuring that the
cement job is both in place and can be
depended on:
The ability to verify cement at
surface.

It enables the monitoring of pressure
during set-up.
Pressure can be applied to verify that
the barrier is in place.

MPC - the solution
to two major challenges.
Rapid system response that keeps both your team
and your well safe.
A POWERFUL RISK-REDUCTION TOOL
MPC enables the successful isolation of
high-pressure, unconsolidated water/
gas bearing formations with high-
performance cement.
A major operator used the system in
the Caspian Sea off a semi-sub and was
able to meet its top-hole objectives
with MPC - previous attempts in the
area at controlling gas via conventional
cementing technique had resulted in gas
leakage after cementing.
This was not the case with MPC. No gas
fow either during or after cementing
was experienced. The well did not
become underbalanced at any time
during cement setting.
CHALLENGES SOLVED
MPC is the answer to two major
problems encountered with
conventional cementing techniques:
Effective cement slurry placement in a
Narrow Pressure Window scenario
Gas fow after cementing.
Other advantages include:
Enhanced safety thanks to the
systems rapid kick/ loss detection.
Signifcant cost and time savings
thanks to effcient mitigation of
pressure-regime related issues
Ability to set deeper surface casing
Superior wellbore integrity
Reduced logistics requirements
Simple, effective design and operation
THE TOP-HOLE TEAM - MPC AND RMR
RMR (Riserless Mud Recovery) is the
perfect complement to MPC.
It is an innovative way to return mud and
cuttings to the rig before the marine
riser is run, without discharge to the
seabed: there is no Pump and Dump.
RMR, which has been used on more
than 200-wells worldwide since
its frst commercial deployment in
2003, enables top-holes to be drilled
more safely, quickly and with less
environmental impact.
Precise pressure management,
plus reliability when you need it
most: MPC.
