Total Control Driller © Pressure Control And Metering Manifold
MPO Pressure Control and Metering Manifold: controls applied surface back pressure on the well bore using Pressure Control Valves (PCV), and measures returned well bore fluids' mass flow rate, pressure, density and temperature. The manifold then diverts all returned well bore fluid flow at atmospheric pressure, either directly to the shakers, or the drill through MGS and then onto the shakers. Includes dual overpressure protection.
During Managed Pressure Drilling the Bottom Hole Pressure is determined by the Equivalent Circulating Density (hydrostatic head of drilling fluid + frictional effects of circulating) plus the applied surface back pressure, applied by an MPD choke or TCD manifold.

During Managed Pressure Drilling the Bottom Hole Pressure is determined by the Equivalent Circulating Density (hydrostatic head of drilling fluid + frictional effects of circulating) plus the applied surface back pressure, applied by an MPD choke or TCD manifold.
Total Control Driller© Features:
- Designed to follow accurate bottom hole pressure control, to +/- 20 psi, when used with the Non Stop Driller© system
- Advanced predictive kick/loss event detection system available with Total Control Driller© Plus (Patent Pending)
- 6” large bore allows use of MPD on top hole sections, with flow rates up to 1500 gpm
- Dual overpressure protection with automatically programmable Pressure Relief Control Valve and Pressure Safety Valve
- 6” large bore significantly reduces risk of plugging compared to smaller bore choke manifolds
- Linear pressure control, with more rapid response than standard MPD chokes
- MPO Control and Data Acquisition Systems are the most advanced on the MPD market
- Two types of flow rate meter for cross referencing
- Includes remote operated 3-way non isolating valve to divert flow to either the shakers or the MGS
The Total Control Driller© Pressure Control and Metering Manifold is part of the MPO MPD system which also includes the MPD MGS, Non Stop Driller© drill pipe/subs and RCD systems.
The Total Control Driller© and MGS are all automatically controlled, monitored and remote actuated by the MPO Control System software.
MPO has agreements with RCD suppliers to supply both standard passive RCDs and remote latching RCDs. In addition MPO is developing our own passive RCD system.
