Inteq and Knowledge Systems have introduced the BEACON Remote Pressure Management (RPM) service. Based on while-drilling analysis of wellbore pressure and stability factors, the BEACON RPM service is designed to help operators reduce costs, lower non-productive time and optimize casing programs.

Downhole drilling and evaluation measurements are transferred from the well via the RigLink real-time data distribution system to the BEACON Expert Center for while-drilling analysis by Inteq’s data monitoring and data management engineers and Knowledge Systems’ dedicated pressure management engineers. The BEACON RPM service may be combined with Inteq’s full line of logging-while-drilling tools, including the TesTrak service for real-time formation pressure and mobility data while drilling.


BEACON RPM resources are available under three tiers of service, according to the company. Each service level includes the services of dedicated pressure management engineers and the use of Knowledge Systems’ Drillworks Predict application, which allows engineers to reliably forecast pore pressures to improve performance and avoid problems at all stages of the drilling cycle.
