The Secure Drilling™ System Optimizes Drilling Process

The Secure Drilling™ System developed by Impact Solutions Group is a closed-loop system that analyzes available drilling data to detect kicks or losses, and automatically manages backpressure at the surface to control influxes or losses.

The system allows the volumes to be kept as small as possible – a micro-influx or micro-outflux. It is designed to incorporate existing drilling and pressure control equipment with minimal upgrades and equipment additions.

In its basic form, the Secure Drilling System allows the driller to “see” on screen real-time changes in the behavior in flow and pressures, as well as deviations from the expected behavior. The driller can use the technology to interpret these changes and manage the situation through computer-controlled equipment that adjusts the flow regime in response to changes in downhole or surface conditions.

The Secure Drilling System specifically allows the well to be drilled overbalanced, near balanced or underbalanced, enabling each section of the well to be optimized based on specific downhole conditions.
