RAPTR™ Automated Pressure Control Technology
RAPTR™ optimizes drilling operations with superior accuracy and real-time pressure control, enabling faster performance under challenging conditions.
The Next-Generation Automated Pressure Control System
RAPTR™ automated pressure control technology creates efficiencies in drilling operations. Rather than relying on outdated equipment or guesswork, this fully automated solution leverages precision monitoring and responsive control to improve the drilling process.
Our Focus: Maximizing Your Operational Efficiency
E3 Company developed RAPTR™ automated pressure control technology to provide immediate, impactful benefits for operators in competitive markets. Beyond delivering swift integration and simple calibration, this solution addresses pain points that drive up costs and and stall the drilling process..
By eliminating unnecessary hazards, reducing manual intervention, and maintaining near-instant control to prevent overpressure events, RAPTR™ enables improved drilling operations. It also extends the lifespan of essential components, limiting the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Amplify Surface Pressure
RAPTR™ harnesses advanced sensors and smart algorithms to help rigs operate closer to their upper-pressure limits without increasing overall risk. With an immediate response to real-time data, it fine-tunes drilling parameters for maximum fluid flow and motor output.
Accelerate From Spud to TD
RAPTR™ integrates seamlessly with existing rig contractor systems, allowing clear oversight of critical thresholds. Its responsive design cuts down on connection times, lowers non-productive intervals, and curbs equipment stress by mitigating sudden pressure shifts. As a result, rigs can sustain higher performance standards from the initial spud through total depth.
RAPTR™ Case Study: Success in the Appalachian Basin
An operator in the Appalachian region dealt with persistent overpressure events while drilling extended horizontal wells, resulting in wasted time and subpar operational outcomes. Determined to improve performance, the drilling team sought a more precise approach than mechanical rupture devices, which often lacked adaptability and forced the use of conservative safety margins.
E3 introduced the RAPTR™ automated pressure relief valve system, powered by an proprietary algorithm and programmable parameters. Integrated into the rig’s existing infrastructure, RAPTR™ allowed on-the-fly adjustments through a Human Machine Interface in the doghouse. By delivering instantaneous pressure releases into the active fluid loop, RAPTR™ virtually eliminated environmental discharge. When overpressure subsided, drilling promptly resumed, sidestepping additional downtime.
