Weatherford Awarded MPD Contract for Trion

Weatherford has secured a contract to provide Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) services for the Trion project, operated by Woodside. The multi-year contract covers MPD services for an initial eight wells, with the potential to extend to 24 wells. This award reinforces Weatherford’s presence in Mexico’s offshore energy sector.

Weatherford will deploy its Victus intelligent MPD system for the project. The system features algorithm-driven pressure control, real-time downhole data for automated responses, and a field-proven deepwater riser system for floating rigs. This technology is designed to enhance drilling safety, efficiency, and performance.

Girish Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer, Weatherford, says that the company is "proud to support Woodside Energy on this historic project." He adds that the Trion development is a "defining moment for Mexico’s energy sector" and that Weatherford is "honored to contribute with trusted MPD technologies that improve safety, efficiency, and well delivery." Saligram says that the award strengthens Weatherford’s position as a partner for complex offshore operations.
