Rotating control device docking station

System for drilling a borehole, comprising:

• a riser positioned above the borehole;
• a housing having a first channel and positioned above said riser;
• a rotating control device having a first channel removably aligned with said housing first channel for communicating a first fluid;
• and
• a hydraulically activated latching assembly for remotely latching said rotating control device with said housing.

An apparatus for drilling, comprising:

• a housing having a channel for receiving a fluid;
• an oilfield device having a channel and being sized to be received with said housing;
• a valve for control of the flow of fluid between said oilfield device channel and said housing channel;
• and
• a sensor for sensing data of said fluid moving between said oilfield device and said housing.

A method for conversion between hydrostatic pressure drilling and controlled pressure drilling, comprising the steps of:

• positioning a housing above a borehole;
• removably latching an oilfield device with said housing from a remote location for controlled drilling;
• remotely unlatching said oilfield device from said housing;
• removing said oilfield device from said housing;
• and
• removably latching a protective sleeve with said housing from a remote location for hydrostatic pressure drilling.
