Weatherford Wins Two Crystal Awards for Marketing Communications Excellence and Announces Executive Leadership Honors

The automated MPD riser system reduces installation time on offshore rigs from two days to 20 minutes. The system is an integral part of the Victus intelligent MPD solution, which enables operators and rig contractors to achieve their drilling objectives with unmatched safety and cost savings in deep water, in shallow water, or on land. The advanced solution integrates rig equipment for machine-to-machine communication, real-time analysis of downhole conditions, and rapid automated responses from a central location. It also uses an exclusive and time-tested algorithmic model to maintain bottomhole pressure with precision.
