Compelling Questions to address: Question 1: Can we automate MPD and Well Control? Question 2: What barriers currently exist? Question 3: How do we remove the barriers? 7 9/22/2016
Field Example: Adaptive Pressure Control – MPD / Flow Drilling Mud Gas Separator High Pressure RCD Flare Gas Flow Meter Choke Manifold Flow Meter Backpressure Pump
Automated MPD Well Control Event Influx detected, backpressure applied Influx growing, more backpressure applied
Automated MPD Well Control Event (continued) Heavy weight rollover initiated while drilling resumes Last bit of gas passes at surface, Influx managed
Industry Barriers to Automated MPD Well Control Category Status Equipment: pressure and volume No issues Technology: detection and control No issues Regulations Outstanding Liabilities: Drilling contractor and service provider Outstanding Legacy: Roles and responsibilities Outstanding
Well Control in MPD MPD Operations Matrix Standard Surface Pressure Indicator Defined by MODP Influx Indicator MPD Operations Matrix At Planned Drilling Back Pressure At Planned Connection Back Pressure Planned Back Pressure & Back Pressure Limit Back pressure Limit No Influx Continue Drilling Continue Drilling Continue operation, adjust system to decrease WHP Secure well, evaluate next planned action Operating Limit Continue drilling, adjust system to increase BHP Continue drilling, adjust system to increase BHP Cease drilling, adjust system to decrease WHP and increase BHP Secure well, evaluate next planned action Operating Limit Secure well, evaluate next planned action Secure well, evaluate next planned action Secure well, evaluate next planned action Secure well, evaluate next planned action Optimum parameters for MPD Operations Continue MPD Operations with caution while the influx is confirmed Influx confirmed. MPD Operations must be stopped and the well secured to evaluate next action
MPD and Well Control – Real life HPHT Exploration well, offshore jackup Automated MPD system using flow metering to monitor for influx and loss – navigate PP ramp All necessary pre-planning, and Well control matrix in place The story interpretation of roles and responsibilities was left to be discovered during a live event. Ref: SPE 143099, SPE 163546
MPD and Well Control – Future State Automation of the process Highly likely to improve outcome Desire of several operators Logical Dependencies: Integrated control of MPD equipment and Rig equipment Data: quality, frequency, control Liability agreement
Compelling Questions to address: Question 4: Should we automate MPD and Well Control? Yes! 15 9/22/2016

The IADC Daily Drilling Report (DDR) has been the standard in reporting activities on drilling rigs around the world for decades. Available both in paper form directly from IADC or licensed electronic formats (available through numerous commercial parties), the IADC DDR is the standard for reporting drilling performance.
The International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) is dedicated to enhancing the interests of oil and gas and geothermal drilling contractors worldwide. IADC's contract drilling members own most of the world's land and offshore drilling units and drill the vast majority of the wells that produce the planet's oil and gas. IADC's
