Abstract

A method for controlling formation pressure during the drilling of a borehole through a subterranean formation includes selectively pumping a drilling fluid through a drill string extended into a borehole, out a drill bit at the bottom end of the drill string, and into an annular space between drill string and the borehole. The drilling fluid is discharged to a reservoir to clean the drilling fluid for reuse. Annular space fluid pressure is selectively increased to maintain a selected fluid pressure proximate the bottom of the borehole by applying fluid pressure to the annular space. The selective increasing includes controlling an aperture of an orifice operatively coupled between the annular space and the reservoir. Fluid from the annular space is discharged other than through the orifice when the annular space fluid pressure exceeds a selected value, or drops below a selected value.
