MPD to PMD ™
The future of Managed Pressure Drilling is here with Opla’s PMD™ (pressure management device). While
MPD (managed pressure drilling) is becoming a commonly used drilling practice, the techniques and
equipment haven’t changed in decades. The Opla team was formed with the common goal of bringing
disruptive technology to the drilling industry. PMD™ was designed and engineered with automation,
digitalization, performance drilling, and environmental factors in mind.

DIGITALIZATION
PMDSmart™ was designed with the driller in mind. Its simplified UI and built-in automation ensures it
can easily be run with minimal training. Just set the desired downhole pressure, and the real-time
hydraulics and automated choke reactions take care of the rest. IIoT and cloud infrastructure allows the
RTOC to update necessary parameters in the hydraulics engine based on actual well parameters, or even
take remote control of the PMD™. Cloud integration also allows for client viewing of all device
parameters, improving operations and downhole visibility. All data collected is stored and
analyzed by OplaML (machine learning) to optimize drilling parameters and eliminate NPT.

PERFORMANCE DRILLING
PMD’s compact design allows it to be easily rig integrated with minimal or no structural
modifications. This design eliminates traditional MPD systems’ long rig in/out times. All the benefits
of fully automated MPD packages in a compact device can be easily rig integrated or run stand-alone to
maximize drilling results and eliminate pressure-related NPT. The PMD’s smaller on-site footprint, reduction of on-site personnel, decreased mud costs and ROP optimization instantly improves the ESG of any drilling operation.
