FloMaster – Precision Fluid-Control Technology for Superior Cementing Performance

Taking Control of Cement Placement | Enhancing Well Integrity | Reducing Operational Risk

 

FloMaster is PDG’s advanced down-hole fluid control technology engineered to transform the way cementing operations are performed across drilling, well-construction and Plug & Abandonment (P&A) environments. Designed to regulate and control fluid flow at the lower end of the string, FloMaster ensures consistent annular displacement, predictable pressure behaviour and accurate cement placement — delivering improved cement plug quality, lower risk of losses and verifiable operational outcomes.

 

At the core of FloMasters' performance is a simple, robust and reliable design incorporating precision-engineered orifice modules to regulate circulating pressure and flow rates. The result is a controlled displacement process that avoids uncontrolled free-fall, mitigates flash setting concerns, improves mud removal and provides a clear, positive surface pressure signature throughout the cementing phase.

 

Why FloMaster Delivers Operational Confidence

FloMaster provides operators with the essential ability to control fluid behaviour downhole rather than simply react to surface indicators, enabling stronger well-integrity outcomes and reducing the costs associated with rework, uncertainty and Non-Productive Time (NPT).

​

Key Performance Advantages

• Uniform annular flow and consistent cement placement, enhancing quality assurance in plug and primary cementing operations.

• Positive surface pressure response, clearly indicating material transitions for accurate top-of-cement determination.

• Reduced losses and improved ECD management, supporting pressure-sensitive formations.

• Controlled displacement without free-fall or U-tube effects, ensuring plug accuracy.

• Reliable and simple deployment, made up like a standard joint and requiring no specialised equipment or activation.

• Reusable, cost-effective and compatible with foam-ball cleaning operations.

 

Applications Across the Well Lifecycle

FloMaster is suited for operations including:

• Primary cementing and zonal-isolation assurance in challenging drilling environments

• Plug & Abandonment programmes requiring accurate barrier placement and verification

• Remedial cementing, side-tracking and kick-off operations

• High-angle / ERD wells or wells prone to losses or contamination

 

Technology Built for the Field

• No moving parts or valves — simple, robust and practical by design

• Precision control through configurable module quantity (F-factor)

• Delivered as a ready-to-run pup-joint with integrated FloMaster modules

• Tailored to customer requirements on tubular size, grade and thread specification

 

FloMaster – Raising the Standard in Cementing Assurance

 

By delivering measurable, controlled and repeatable cement placement results, FloMaster enables operators to achieve higher confidence in well integrity, reduce operational rework and meet regulatory and long-term sealing expectations with assurance.

FloMaster gives you control — not guesswork — in critical cementing operations.
