Within the Subsea and Risers category – MHWirth provides the offshore drilling market with Drilling Risers and Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD).

During subsea operations, safe equipment and increased efficiency can make a significant difference.

The company’s drilling risers help in reducing personnel injury risk by eliminating the need for heavy tools to connect or disconnect the riser during tripping operations. Losing this requirement also helps to improve the overall work environment of the rig.

“Bolts and preloading the connector are a thing of the past,” the company explains. “Our drilling riser connector is positive confirmed closed or open by an index pin, increasing the safety of riser connection operations.

Our drilling riser’s open and close operations increase uptime by taking the connection time down to a minimum and out of the critical path.”

With an array of benefits, the drilling risers increase HSSE performance on the rig whilst helping to reduce the number of rig personnel needed during the tripping process.

The company’s MPD operations help in providing cost effective and robust solutions for riser gas handling, continuous circulation, kick detection and management.

With services that include hazard identification, front-end engineering design (FEED), wellplanning and simulation, HSSE management which encompasses all types of drilling projects is ensured.

“We support drilling operations ranging globally from basic land

rig operations to deepwater high pressure high temperature (HPHT) projects,” the company explains.

MYDRILLING™ An interactive, web-based communication platform, myDrilling™ has been developed

by MHWirth for its customers – providing products and services to ensure optimal rig performance.

Providing a total overview and details required by companies for day-to-day maintenance, the system shows ongoing correspondence, accurate information for rig crew at the right time, order details and further collaboration opportunities. myDrilling™ also provides customers with an overview of HSSE alerts, HSSE bulletins and tailored product bulletins relevant to equipment installed on the rig.
