MANAGED PRESSURE DRILLING TECH SPECS

Victus™ Manifold
Offers a customizable design, including between one and four legs,
to detect, control, and circulate out influxes

Applications
• Applying constant bottomhole
pressure as a method for
managed pressure drilling (MPD)
• Identifying and mitigating
common drilling problems
• Automatically detecting and
controlling kicks and losses
• Performing dynamic formation-
integrity tests (FIT) and leak-off
tests (LOT) without the need to
stop circulation or shut in the well
• Executing pressurized mud-cap The Weatherford Victus manifold is a fourth-generation design based on decades of performing and operating. The above manifold
drilling in wells with total losses. shows one possible customization that features three legs, each with its own respective choke and flowmeter. The manifold also
includes integrated junk catchers and a gut line.

Options
• Manifold enables customization by choosing between various options:
− one, two, three, or four legs
− 4- or 6-in. choke sizes
− electric, hydraulic, or manual isolation valves
− integrated junk catchers
− gut line valves
• Flowmeter can be placed downstream of the choke as an option. The downstrean
flowmeter may be equipped to handle high pressures as an additional option.
• Integrated junk catcher option reduces the manifold footprint and manual handling.
