RDM delivers accurate pressure management and improved well control through closed loop fluid circulation. RDM is therefore especially attractive for Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Under Balanced Drilling (UBD).

RDM represents substantial potential for pushing present limitations in Extended Reach Drilling (ERD). RDM delivers weight on bit independent of string weight, with a lower incremental and total pressure drop at the end of long horizontal sections.

The job isn't done until the well is lined or cased. A liner or casing can be helped to the end of the horizontal section with the RDM hydraulic piston system, then conventionally cemented in place with no inner restriction or compromise of hydraulic isolation.

RDM has applications within all drilling environments, from land and off shore. RDM enables operators to extend the drilling reach. MPD and ERD features give access to reserves that would otherwise be inaccessible. Operators are finding the economic and environmental potential of RDM to be extremely attractive.
