Fossil Energy – Drilling
Seadrill announced the successful installation of the Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) Integrated Riser Joint (IRJ) on the West Polaris in Brazil.
This follows the initial integration completed near Cape Town, South Africa, and marks the final step before this advanced technology goes live.
Key highlights of the MPD:
🔹 Compact & Lightweight Design: Streamlining rig-up for better efficiency.
🔹 Serviceable Over Well-Center: Minimizing downtime, delivering operational cost savings.
🔹 Proven Innovation: Building on the success of similar systems in Australia.
The IRJ system is set to transform offshore drilling by improving safety, efficiency, and operational simplicity. This achievement highlights the strength of our collaboration with Oil States Industries and our shared commitment to advancing MPD technology in the offshore industry.
