AFGlobal Launches New Performance Drilling Platform

HOUSTON, TX, December 10, 2018 — AFGlobal today announced the launch of their Performance Drilling platform, a unique combination of equipment and software aimed at the onshore and shallow water drilling markets.

AFGlobal’s Performance Drilling platform incorporates equipment and software to seamlessly support rig operations with fundamental capabilities, including: applying surface back pressure set point pressure control while drilling, automated ramp schedules during connections, early kick loss detection (EKLD) and choke condition-based monitoring (CBM).

Built around AFGlobal’s industry-leading rotating control device (RCD) technology, metering and measurement package and task-specific intelligent control, the Performance Drilling toolkit enables drilling contractors to safely and efficiently maximize performance with industry-proven solutions that increase ROP, improve safety and increase hole stability while minimizing sticking.
