Case Study: Casper Equipment Installation Company reduces MPD installation time and costs with SLB @balance Xpress mobile MPD services

@balance Xpress Services Streamline MPD Equipment Installation for Substantial Time and Cost Savings

Casper Equipment Installation Company worked with SLB to reduce nonproductive time during rig-up of managed pressure drilling (MPD) equipment in Casper, Wyoming. The customer needed a fast, nonintrusive installation that could be completed with surface pipe work in less than 2 hours.

SLB used the @balance Xpress mobile MPD services platform with a hydraulically deployed SUPER MUD-GAS SEPARATOR to deliver a preinstalled, integrated equipment package to the wellsite. The system eliminated the need for a heavy-lift crane and welding, cut total installation time from 16 hours 20 minutes to 6 hours 40 minutes, and helped the operator skid equipment between wells with substantial time and cost savings.
