Pruitt UltraLite™ MPD

Managed Pressure Drilling Equipment

Pruitt UltraLite™ MPD is a highly-capable automated choke system that delivers the same benefits of Pruitt’s flagship MPD services in a compact, lighter footprint. It offers a lower cost MPD entry point for the unconventional drilling market.

UltraLite™ incorporates 4” ASME B31.3 / NACE MR-01-75 3,000psi certified pipework, an API 16-C 3” 5,000psi drilling choke with hard wearing Tungsten Carbide internals and enhanced operation CV (Choke Orifice) performance curve, coupled with the latest in extremely accurate and zero field maintenance electric servo actuator. Each unit has two sealed diaphragm Pressure Transducers for data validation. The system is remoteoperated from a Zone-2 Hazardous Area Human Machine Interface (HMI) touch screen. The system can be supplied with Standpipe Pressure Transducer and pump stroke counters for automated pressure control versus pump rates for CBHP (constant bottom hole pressure) control.

The system can also communicate with a high-pressure coriolis meter for enhanced influx detection and alarm. The coriolis meter skid is equipped with an MPD strainer to prevent large well debris from causing damage to the coriolis meter or plugging the choke. This strainer is equipped with a differential pressure sensor that alerts an MPD operator at the HMI when the strainer may need cleaning.

UltraLite™ Integrated High-Pressure Coriolis Meter & MPD Strainer

Pruitt UltraLite™ MPD

Working Pressure 3,000psi

Upstream of choke placement means less susceptible to gas break out

Meter will remain active longer than downstream coriolis meters

MPD strainer (easy clean) is designed to protect high-pressure coriolis meters. MPD strainer screen has enough space to complete most jobs and is real-time monitored by differential pressure transmitter.
