MPD / Drill-string Wash-out pressure loss

05 June 2023

Can any of the MPD systems mask/conceal the surface (standpipe) pressure loss of a drill-string wash-out? (i.e. compensate the pressure loss occurring from the washout with back-pressure, thereby preventing the tell-tale signs of wash-out to the driller?)
