Keys to Success
Experience
There is no substitute for experience in the pressure business. No amount of equipment or corporate brand can ensure the successful design and execution of an MPD program. It relies on people – our people are some of the most experienced in the industry. Together, we believe that our team can reduce your non-productive time, save you money and ensure safe operations.
MPD Design & Project Management
Beyond provides MPD support for those applications requiring a detailed analysis and planning of operations (drilling ECD’s, swab and surge models, rollovers, hole cleaning and more). Experienced in HPHT wells, depleted zones, geothermal wells, and underbalanced drilling, our knowledgeable team can handle any problem you might encounter.
