Remotely operated, electrically actuated variable-speed drilling choke

The M-I SWACO eCHOKE drilling choke is a remotely operated, electrically actuated, variable-speed version of the SUPER CHOKE drilling choke. The small, portable, remote actuator control panel can be carried easily to the drill floor by a single operator. The reliable eCHOKE replaces the large choke console currently required for hydraulic operation.

The eCHOKE unit has many outstanding features, but the predominate objective is delivering a high degree of control, safety and speed in well-control situations.

Key features of the eCHOKE include:

  • Variable-speed drive and faster open/close speeds
  • Performance-tested to full 10K operating pressure
  • High torque performance
  • Zero gear lash
  • Three modes of operation
  • Electronic pressure sensing and transmitting
  • Reduced cabling requirements
  • Advanced position enunciation
  • Retains all the features of the performance-proven 10K SUPER CHOKE unit
  • Design is adaptable to the 15K and 20K choke systems
  • Ethernet communication capability
  • Small and portable
  • Programmable

Resulting benefits include:

  • Precise choke control and quick response during critical well-control situations
  • Smooth closure, even with debris in the well
  • Redundant operation for maximum control
  • Safer operating environment
