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 12/30/2026 Confidential
. 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 OPERATING PHILOSOPHY 12/30/2026 Confidential
