GN Solids Control has recently completed a major equipment sale to a prominent Asia-based oilfield service company, supplying a comprehensive package of machinery for offshore drilling operations.
This order comprises six GNLW363D-FHD decanter centrifuges, two GNCD930G vertical cuttings dryers, and eight screw pumps. Each piece of equipment has been designed to enhance the efficiency and environmental safety of offshore drilling activities by optimizing the separation and disposal of drilling waste.
The GNLW363D-FHD decanter centrifuge, a key element of this order, is a hydraulic drive model specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of offshore applications. It plays an essential role in the separation of drilling fluids from solids, allowing for the recycling and reuse of drilling mud. This capability not only reduces operational costs but also minimizes the environmental footprint of drilling operations. The centrifuge’s robust and durable design ensures consistent and reliable performance, even in the challenging conditions typically encountered in offshore environments, making it an ideal solution for oilfield service companies operating in such demanding settings.
The GNCD930G vertical cuttings dryer is another crucial component included in this order, designed to effectively manage drilling cuttings by efficiently removing liquids from the cuttings. This process significantly reduces the volume of waste, making it easier to dispose of or potentially reuse the solid materials. The use of this equipment not only ensures compliance with strict environmental regulations but also leads to a reduction in overall waste handling and disposal costs.
Additionally, the eight screw pumps included in this comprehensive package are vital for the consistent and reliable transfer of drilling fluids and waste between various processing units. Their efficient design ensures smooth operation with minimal maintenance, thereby contributing to the overall operational efficiency of the drilling fluid management system.
With this advanced equipment package from GN Solids Control, the Asia-based oilfield service company is expected to significantly enhance its operational capabilities, enabling more effective and sustainable management of drilling waste. GN Solids Control continues to play a pivotal role in supporting the oil and gas industry’s efforts toward more environmentally responsible operations by delivering reliable, high-performance solutions.
