ENVIROUNITs
With the petroleum industry moving toward zero discharge from offshore installations, there is a growing need for rig-based, purpose-built, modular units that can treat and recycle fluid resources that are currently sent onshore for waste disposal. This is particularly important for deep and ultra-deepwater wells far from shore disposal facilities and that rely on enormous volumes of drilling, reservoir drill-in and completion fluids.
M-I SWACO can now deliver to the rig the mechanical and chemical processes used in its ENVIROCENTER* facilities through its ENVIROUNIT* module, a portable ENVIROCENTER facility for offshore applications where the chemical and mechanical processes are identical to the onshore facility. The only difference is that the capacity is tailored to typical offshore operations.
Features and Benefits
- The ENVIROUNIT module helps operators reach their overall goal of waste minimization, fluid reuse, increased profit and improved margins
- ENVIROUNIT modules utilize the proven, successful approach and methods employed at M-I SWACO ENVIROCENTER facilities
- The drilling-fluid-treatment process has a remarkable average of 90% reduction of the total waste volume and an average recovery of 36% of the total volume as high quality drilling fluid
- The ENVIROUNIT reclamation process offers operators significant improvements in drilling fluid costs and environmental expenditures
- The use of ENVIROUNIT filtration and remediation services offshore can deliver significant performance and cost benefits while simultaneously meeting environmental regulations
- New processes and chemicals have made reclamation of water- or brine-contaminated oil-base drilling fluids possible, similar to completion-fluids reclamation
