Bulk transfer
Collect, distribute and transfer drill cuttings in bulk from an offshore rig to an onshore central processing facility
Our Cuttings Containment and Distribution System (CCDS) incorporates a range of equipment for bulk transfer services. This includes Cuttings Transfer (CT) pumps, Cuttings Storage Transfer (CST) units and Vacuum Transfer Systems.
Specific project requirements and rig layouts will determine the exact configuration of the system, and our engineers work with operators to design and install the optimum solution to ensure best possible performance throughout the drilling campaign.
The process
Drill cuttings are pumped directly from the shale shakers using TWMA’s CT pumps or screw conveyors to a CST unit on the rig and then to a number of CST units on a supply vessel. The cuttings are then transported to the quayside in the supply vessel CST units before being pumped ashore for transportation to a TWMA treatment and processing facility.
By removing the need for numerous cuttings bins and the associated crane lifts, our shipment method to bring drill cuttings ashore in bulk rather than in drill cuttings bins (skip & ship) has safety, cost and logistical benefits for clients.
