Cubility’s MudCube solid control tool reduces waste treatment emissions associated with drilling by 43% onshore and 42% offshore compared to traditional shale shakers. Based on a report commissioned by the company, Cubility estimates that its customers saw CO2 emission reductions of 21,221 mT and 13,037 mT in waste reductions during 2020 with the technology as compared to traditional shale shakers. The report also calculated that the reduction in waste treatment emissions through the product when landfilled would be 75% onshore and 76% offshore compared to shale shakers, and there was a 35% reduction in actual waste. Launched by Cubility in 2012, the MudCube is the first fully enclosed, lightweight solid control system for all types of drilling fluids, providing an alternative to traditional shale shakers. It uses light vibration with high air flow through a rotating filterbelt to separate all types of drilling fluids from drilled solids.

The technology also allows to transport safely up to 100% hydrogen gas in high pressure, onshore and offshore transmission pipelines.

Removal of 348 kg of solids in desander project in Trinidad

FourPhase has announced the first-ever successful desander operation in the wider Trinidad region. The operation was successfully completed without safety or operational incidents for one of the major oil and gas operators in the region. During production, the well experienced a heavy accumulation of solids in the injection line resulting in a well shut-in. When the gas-lift valve was pulled from the lowest gas-lift station, debris from the A annulus entered the tubing. A coiled tubing operation was selected as the best course of action to clean out the solids, pull the plug and gain access to the lower zone. This was the first time a desander was used in Trinidad, and the DualFlow 5K cyclonic separation system was selected as the best technology to undertake the job. FourPhase deployed a suite of its own products including the DualFlow 5K desander, flow meter manifold, dual choke manifold, Surface Safety Valve and FourPhase production specification pipework.

The Enerpac EVO-P Pump-Per-Point Synchronous Lift System provides speed and accuracy for heavy lifts. As a pump-per-point system, it features individual hydraulic pumps for each lifting point. This reduces distance from pump to cylinder, minimizing hose lengths and risk of leaks. The hydraulic pumps are two-stage, which is ideal for fast retraction and repetitive operations. The combination of a higher flow rate per cylinder and high accuracy means lift is completed sooner without sacrificing quality. The system has an improved speed option for large cylinders with longer strokes. Due to its high oil capacity in each cylinder, it eliminates the need for custom reservoir designs. The variable frequency drive (VFD) motor controls lifting accuracy and minimizes starts and stops, resulting in faster and smoother lifts, which is ideal for sensitive structures. The VFD speed control allows flexibility when using multiple cylinder capacities on the same lift.
