eCHOKE Electric Actuator System | Schlumberger

How it improves wells

When attached to a drilling choke, the eCHOKE electric actuator system is a remotely operated, electrically actuated variable-speed unit that provides a high degree of control, safety, and speed in well-control situations.

The small, portable remote-control panel enables easy transportation and replaces the large choke console required for hydraulic operation. An actuator control panel located at the choke enables local control and display of pressures, position, and strokes. A second actuator control panel may be added to allow for dual-choke operation.

The system can communicate via enhanced third-party communication capabilities to external data-acquisition systems, increasing your ability to evaluate frac flowbacks, well-control problems, and leak-off tests in real time. The feature enables the operator to control operating parameters including leak-off test pressures, flowback pressures, and maximum casing pressure.
