TWMA, a specialist drilling waste management company, has been contracted to deploy its RotoMill technology in a harsh environment semi-submersible unit. The contract with an undisclosed client will bring a seven-figure sum to TWMA.
TWMA was chosen as a specialist provider of offshore processing services to eliminate the waiting weather risk associated with a ship-to-shore approach, while improving the client’s environmental performance through a 50% reduction in carbon emissions percent, the company said in its statement. .
RotoMill’s wellsite processing solution enables drilling waste to be processed at source, eliminating the need to transport drilling waste long distances for treatment or disposal, according to TWMA.
“We are proud to have secured this contract due to our proven track record of delivering successful drilling campaigns in the North Sea,” said Sandy Wood, TWMA’s director of business development.
“The client was particularly interested in the potential of our offshore processing technology to reduce delays associated with waiting for weather, a common problem faced by clients in the North Sea. Improving efficiency for our clients it boosts our service offering and we are pleased to support the operator by eliminating costly delays,” Wood said.
The RotoMill ensures uninterrupted drilling in the harshest offshore environments by eliminating any waiting time associated with handling drill cuttings. Offshore drilling cuttings processing improves the risk profile of drilling projects by reducing lift operations by up to 95 percent, the release said.
Eliminating the need to send drilling waste ashore negates the need for supply vessels, jumps and onshore processing, which not only lowers the total cost of ownership of the waste, but also reduces operators’ carbon emissions up to 50 percent, compared to the traditional jump-and-boat method. according to TWMA.
