This novel method provides cost-effective constant bottom-hole pressure in drilling operations, enhancing well stability.

The innovative system achieves about 70% of the pressure control capability of a full managed pressure drilling system, while significantly reducing costs.
Maintaining constant bottom-hole pressure is critical for well-bore stability during drill pipe connections, improving operational safety.
The proposed solution simplifies annular pressure management by trapping mud returns in the well-bore, avoiding complex equipment requirements.
Reduced operational costs and maintenance needs make this novel approach an attractive alternative for Constant Bottom-Hole Pressure applications.

Hitchcock et al. (2025) studied this question.
