At Balance with Smith

The At Balance Automated Pressure Drilling Services provide a
pressure management method which increases safety, enhances
performance and reduces drilling costs. This revolutionary technol-
ogy uses the Integrated Pressure Manager (IPM), which combines
a high speed programmable system with a real-time hydraulics
model to control bottomhole pressure with unmatched speed and
precision. Combined with the Smith HOLD Rotating Control Device,
customers now have a high-performance solution for their most
challenging managed pressure drilling applications.
