MudCube Offers Breakthrough in Drilling Fluids Technology
North Dakota has now prohibited so-called open pits were they dump fluid and cuttings and have to convert to ‘closed loop systems’. This mean that is an advantage to separate out as much as fluid as possible as all waste has to be shipped to be storage/discharge location. “The allowed regulatory concentration of oil and chemicals in the drilling waste is also being lowered as in Colorado, Wyoming, Pennsylvania and New York,” said Kroken.
The company recently signed an agreement with Samsung Heavy Industries to install 12 MudCubes on two of Statoil’s Category J harsh environment jackups in the North Sea. Up to 24 MudCubes could be installed if this project is expanded, Cubility said in a statement. The first six MudCubes are scheduled for delivery in this year’s fourth quarter; the remainder of the MudCubes would be delivered and installed on the rigs every four months thereafter.
The company also has designed and installed a system for Saipem’s Scarabeo 5 (mid-water semisub). The rig, currently under contract to Statoil, is set to drill offshore Norway. Cubility also has deployed another MudCube to Brazil, marking another milestone for the company, Kroken said.
