Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

API RP 92P, 1st Edition, June 2019 - Managed Pressure Drilling Operations - Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling with a Subsea Blowout Preventer
This document addresses recommended practices for pressurized mud cap drilling (PMCD) from a floating rig with a subsea BOP stack. When massive lost circulation conditions are encountered, PMCD can be implemented to allow well construction operations to continue:
Although this document only addresses PMCD, most of the equipment described may also be used for the surface back-pressure (SBP) method of managed pressure drilling. However, much of the equipment used for SBP is not required for PMCD, and will not be covered here.
The following methods, described briefly, are also used during lost circulation conditions; however, they are outside the scope of this document:
a) blind drilling (see 4.3.2);
b) continuous annular injection drilling (see 4.3.3);
c) floating mud cap drilling (see 4.3.4).
