Jagtech’s solutions ensure maximum operational uptime and fluid stability, reducing downtime and improving overall drilling performance.

AutoMAPS

Automated ditch magnet for safer removal of magnetic debris to obtain cleaner drilling fluids.

Eliminate Manual Handling

Fully automated magnet system- no lifting, exposure, or manhandling.

Boost MWD Accuracy

Removes ferrous debris for better signal-to-noise ratios.

Improve Rig Safety

No skin contact, fumes, or pinch risk; less deck spill.

What Is AutoMAPS?

AutoMAPS is an automatic flowline magnet system developed by Jagtech to replace manual metal particle removal processes on drilling rigs. Unlike conventional magnet bars, AutoMAPS is automatic operated, pneumatically controlled, and can be fully integrated into the rig’s solids control system.

This magnetic particle separator ensures continuous metallic particle removal without direct human intervention- improving safety, performance, and environmental issues.It also improves performance since the magnet rods never gets saturated.

Key technical features:

  • Titanium magnetic support rods with  12000 Gauss strength on the surface

  • Accepted for contact with explosive gases: ATEX Zone 1 IIB compliance, T3 temp class

  • Self-adjusting cleaning cycles (Down to every 2-minute default)

  • PLC controlled; bus system integration

  • IP65-rated cabinet; retrofit-friendly

  • Optional automatic weight logging, WIFI and reporting system for AutoMAPS

When Manual Handling Becomes Automated, All Processes Improve

Drilling fluid performance depends on clean, consistent returns. Manual ditch magnets expose workers to:

  • Sharp metal particles and pinching hazards

  • Non-healthy fumes and chemical splash

  • Repetitive strain injuries and lifting accidents

AutoMAPS solves this by automating the entire cycle, improving HSE compliance, minimizing risk, and supporting MWD accuracy by keeping mud cleaner.

“We eliminated a key HSE hazard with AutoMAPS and saw fewer downhole issues.”

North Sea Operator

AutoMAPS is engineered to operate inline or on the flowline using:

  • Pneumatically retractable magnetic rods
  • Tilt and valve-controlled cleaning sequences
  • Screw-based metallic particle extraction
  • Optional application-specific lid for enclosed operations

This design allows operators to configure the system by rig layout, automate cleaning based on metallic particle accumulation, and avoid manual exposure completely.

Use Cases

AutoMAPS is trusted in:

  • Offshore drilling (jack-ups, semi-submersibles, floaters)
  • Onshore rigs with high solids output
  • MWD-critical wells requiring clean signal conditions
  • Drilling operations with strict HSE mandates
  • Rig retrofits to replace manual ditch magnets

What is an automatic ditch magnet?

An automatic ditch magnet is a system that removes ferrous particles from drilling fluids without manual handling. AutoMAPS automates this process for improved safety and fluid quality.

Why is metallic particle removal important in drilling?

Metal particles of all kinds interferes with downhole tools like MWD/LWD. Removing it improves tool reliability, signal quality, and wellbore cleaning.

Is AutoMAPS ATEX certified?

Yes. AutoMAPS is certified for ATEX Zone 1, IIB and meets IP65 protection standards, making it suitable for hazardous rig environments.
