The NOV Wellbore Technologies Multiple Opening Circulation System (MOCS) is a circulation sub that
allows unlimited cycling of the drilling fluid to the annulus or to the bit.
Subsea riser/BOP jetting
By pumping the mud through
the ports and rotating the drill
string it is possible to clean the
riser and BOP eliminating the
use of extra jetting equipment.
Prime
Boosting annular velocities and displacing fluids
Work-over & completions:
● Quick well bore cleanout
● Fast fluid displacements
● Speedy bottoms-up circulation
Horizontal drilling:
● Boosting annular velocities
● Low side cuttings cleanout
● Horizontal acidizing & stimulating
Borehole enlargement: MOCS boosts annular velocities
to remove cuttings faster.
● Cuttings acceleration in reamed section
Under balanced drilling
● Kick control by quick mud displacement

Stuck pipe application
Minimizes the time to solve packoffs
Acid fracturing- pumping acid
in the wellbore to enhance the
Thru tubing rotary drilling: small tool sizes available
production by increasing well
radius.
BHA Protection(LCM or ACID)
LCM Pumping: due to their large size Lost
Circulation Material particles may block
cavities & passage ways in BHA
tools causing possible failures.
