Rethink RCDs: Smarter, Smaller, and Fully Electric

2025-11-06

Rotating Control Devices (RCD) are essential to Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Underbalanced Operations (UBO), especially as drilling pushes into deeper, higher-pressure, and more complex formations. However, traditional RCDs often fall short — misalignment during installation causes premature wear, external hydraulics increase system complexity, and bulky surface setups delay rig-up and require intensive manpower. 

To overcome these challenges, operations now require more intelligent wellhead pressure control solutions: fully electric actuation for precision and simplicity, integrated MPD capability to reduce surface footprint, and adaptable configurations for micro-flow, deepwater, and modular rig environments — all of which define the Vertechs iRCD series.
