iMPD PROJECT MANAGEMENT
iMPD Project Management Offers
❖Most cost effective and most reliable system that
adheres to all the new ABS CDS MPD criteria.
❖Single point client interface
❖System design with minimal R&D interface required
❖Unrivaled system knowledge
❖Turnkey packages including installation,
commissioning and startup
❖Operating procedures

SYSTEM DESIGN THEORY
Managed Pressure Drilling Description
MPD is an adaptive drilling process used to precisely control the annular
pressure profile throughout the wellbore. It controls back pressure thus
mitigating risks in narrow drilling windows. Any influx of formation fluids
can be safely contained and routed through the enclosed system.
MPD/AKD allows for faster corrective action dealing with observed
pressure variations; hence facilitating otherwise un-drillable prospects.
The Coriolis meters measure the mass flow rate in and out directly during
the drilling process to provide advanced kick detection. Thus eliminating
the need to compensate for changing temperature, viscosity, and
pressure conditions.
MPD Joint is used to remove gas-cut drilling mud from the riser string
that has circulated or migrated from down-hole to a point above the
Subsea BOP Stack. It also provides a means to circulate the riser under
pressure in a controlled manner via pumping down the mud boost line
and returning up through the MPD Joint to the rig’s chokes

. iMPD GROUP SYSTEM ADVANTAGES
Class Society Design Advantages
Due to new regulations currently under review by both DNV and ABS the
iMPD System is the only system world wide that complies with all the new
standards once issued.
Managed Pressure Drilling
❖
The iMPD system is the only system that has the capacity of 1800 GPM
flow rate, other systems have a reduced flow rate as low as 600 GPM.
❖
The iMPD System has both block and bleed and dual redundancy unlike
other systems.
❖
The entire system is the only system to comply fully with API 6A
Standards
❖
The entire system is modular and can be installed quickly in a limited
space none invasive to operations.
❖
The iMPD System has been designed to be a safe system with PRV’s
vented to a Buffer Tank prior to overboard. Other systems designed go
back into the MGS
❖
All valve operations can be operated by the MPD Drillers Panel showing
flow paths and valve position
12/30/2026
Confidential

Design Advantages
Advanced Kick Detection
❖The control system using flow-in verses flow-out via the AKD is
the only system that can detect a kick at 0.1 Barrel and as little as
1.5 gallons.
❖System also detects ware and inefficiencies on Mud Pump liners
iMPD Joint (Gas Handling)
❖The iRCD device in-house design requires 20 minute change out
and can be repaired on the Rig unlike any other systems in the
market. With 70% less parts than the competitors.
❖The iMPD Joint fits through 59-1/2 Rotary Table and does not
need any additional work of adding valves with a suspended load.
❖The iMPD system is one of the first to use API 7K Hoses with No33
Gas Carcass and approved by ABS
❖The MPD Joint valves are steel on steel to ensure better
performance in operations unlike any current system.
❖Less friction losses due to large hoses and 6” Chokes
12/30/2026
Confidential
. iMPD SYSTEM ADVANTAGES

❖
Keep operations safe at all times
❖
Operator to gain a potentially-enabling technology advantage on
competition
❖
Enable operator to use The Intelligent MPD system diagnostics, world
first!
❖
Complies with all regulatory bodies
❖
Long term costs of ownership with minimal out of service time.
❖
Employ AKD, MPD, and MPD Joint if necessary, applicable, or allowable to
facilitate attainment of well bore objectives
❖
Reduce operator’s downhole risks associated with narrow drilling
windows between pore pressure and fracture gradients, Customers
envisage future wells may only have a difference of only 0.3 ppg drilling
window so MPD is critical to successfully drilling these proposed wells

SYSTEM APPLICATION

Well Control
❖
The MPD equipment is not intended for well control
operations
❖
In the event an influx is detected, the well is shut-in
with the subsea BOP at the well head
❖
Well kill operations will be performed as per Operators
Well Control Standard
❖
Any gas in the riser is diverted using traditional means
or routed through the MPD Joint
❖
BSEE position is that an influx and a kick are identical
and must be circulated out through the BOP.
❖
The above notwithstanding, the microflux control
manifold has the capability of killing small kicks,
performing dynamic leak off tests, performing dynamic
pore pressure measurements, and drilling while
underbalanced without taking an influx.

“I was told to deliver a comprehensive MPD package to meet the needs of one of
our biggest clients. I needed to deliver a personalised MPD system, on budget, and
with a time sensitive framework. In few days I was fully in charge.
If I had the opportunity of this training and knowledge I could have reduced my
18-month schedule by 5 months. I could have avoided a lot of unnecessary
research and in turn a lot of wasted time.”

#1 Halliburton RCD 3000 Rotating Control Device: When drilling scenarios
demand precise flow control, Halliburton Rotating Control Devices (RCD) are
essential. Halliburton RCD tools fit easily under most drilling rigs without
modifications for better manoeuvrability. Operators save rig-up time and reduce
the need for onsite inventory by changing stripper elements independent of the
bearing assembly. With a full suite of RCD tools for low, intermediate, and high-
pressure applications, Halliburton provides safe and efficient containment
throughout the process.
The Halliburton suite of RCD tools features stripper elements that can be changed
independent of the bearing assembly, saving rig time and reducing onsite
inventory at the rig. They are available in rotating head sizes from 7-1/16-inch
3000 psi to 30-inch 2000 psi inlet flange; and weld-on connection sizes in 16, 20,
24, and 40 inches.
Marine Sentry RCD 3000™ rotating control device: The unique remote bearing
latch system improves element and bearing changes. The entire bearing assembly
can be released and hoisted to the rig floor using the drill pipe. At the rig floor the
bearing can be serviced and the elements can be changed. Also available is a dual
element configuration that can be deployed through the rotary table.
The Marine Sentry RCD also features real-time wireless monitoring of pressures,
temperature, vibration and RPM, giving you predictive indicators of element changes.

#3 SLB: M-I SWACO supports an extensive fleet of rotating control devices (RCDs) for use in a variety of
applications, including annular fluid containment and pressure management in onshore and offshore
drilling environments. Across the M-I SWACO RCD portfolio, each system is compatible with both rotary
drives and top drives and features seals made of natural rubber, nitrile, butyl, or urethane.
Pressure ratings for the Sealed Rotating System (SRS) and internal seals have been
determined through in-house lab testing with a test plug installed. Due to the
uncontrolled environment of well drilling operations. Schlumberger does not,
under any circumstances, recommend that its RCDs be used as primary blowout
prevention equipment. Pressure ratings vary by sealing element material and drill

#5 NOV Active Control Device (ACD) System; Is the industry’s first active, non-rotating sealing device
for MPD operations. The ACD seals the wellbore annulus and diverts returns using a novel, actively
energized sealing element controlled by our industry-standard annular packer system. The design
allows the system to determine the sealing element condition, while an external sealing element
control contains high-pressure wellbore fluids even after the sealing element reaches a worn state. The
ACD eliminates complex bearing assemblies and high-wear rotary seal components found in
conventional passive rotating control devices (RCD) that are the source of many MPD problems.
Monitoring and controlling the seal reduces maintenance, extends service life, and enhances safety.
ACD, developed specifically for
deepwater service, is a fundamental
advance in annular pressure
containment that eliminates passive
rotating control device (RCD) design
deficiencies. The ACD’s pioneering

PROTECTING THE NATION'S
MOST STRATEGIC ASSETS
Custom Cyber Intelligence • Cybersecurity •
Electronic Warfare Countermeasures for Oil &
Gas Asset

THE QUIET RISK TO NATIONAL VALUE
Oil & Gas Assets are not ordinary infrastructure. They are the country's most strategic
economic assets and a weakness in security has a high risk of financial impact.
Exposed Control Systems: Internet-facing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA), aging Operational Technology (OT), and unprotected Radio Frequency
channels leave critical processes exposed. Most wells still rely on classic radio and
SCADA systems that mainstream tools cannot fully defend.
One Oil Set-Up ≠ Another: Each asset was engineered differently at different times. So
every system is unique. Generic OT tools and major cybersecurity providers lack
visibility into the original RF and control architecture that only engineering-rooted
knowledge can reveal.
Accountability Gap: When disruption occurs, especially via RF channel attacks that
standard providers cannot stop, questions turn to those responsible. Foresight and
platform-specific defense are the only reliable protection of value and reputation.

TAILORED PROTECTION FOR EACH ASSET
No two platforms share the same engineering DNA. Effective defense must start from that
reality.

Platform-Specific Mapping: Deep analysis of the original control architecture, RF
communications, protocols and implementation choices unique to each facility, including
classic SCADA radio and modern IIoT links.

Engineering-Informed Controls: Countermeasures designed with the same technical
language used by the engineers who built the systems, addressing gaps that pure software
OT tools leave open.

Layered Cyber + Electronic Warfare Defense: Integrated cyber intelligence, OT
hardening and electronic warfare resilience that covers the RF channel itself, where major
providers offer only detection or none at all.

Continuous Adaptation: Ongoing refinement as threats evolve, without forcing one-size-
fits-all software onto the five technology generations of wells still operating today.

System Warning: Hackers take longer to get into KAGES systems with warning of attacks
in real time. Able to locate source of attacks.

BYONCYBERSECURITY PROVIDERS
TYPICAL CYBER FIRMS
Software-centric expertise;
limited RF channel protection
Generic OT detection; no full
protection of the RF channel
Limited insight into original RF
and control engineering.

protects what others cannot

THE VALUE OF WORKING WITH KAGES
Reduced Operational Exposure: Protection calibrated to the real
architecture and RF communications of each platform. No theoretical
models or generic software.
Continuity of Production: Measures that respect process safety and
uptime, optimise client costs and close the RF and engineering gaps that
generic tools leave open.
Demonstrable Stewardship: Clear evidence of proactive, asset-specific
defense that closes gaps left by major providers and withstands scrutiny.
Partnership, Not Package: Integral, customised engineering solutions
developed alongside the knowledge of each facility, maximising security
and operational results. Standardising the operability and removing
bottlenecks when operating the cyber security system.

KAGES SYSTEM DIFFERENTIATORS
 KAGES can protect the assets that protect the Nation.
 KAGES full understand it requires more than standard tools and generic
Outdated Technology (OT) platforms to protect from Cyber attacks.
 It requires partners who understand how each asset was constructed to
understand how to protect it.
 KAGES can close the Radio Frequency and Engineering security gaps
other Cyber Security firms cannot.
