A presentation about new and advanced methods of drilling fluids recovery in offshore operations

1. This presentation covers an analyzes of hypothetical debates in
the industrial world, aiming to discover real Causes & Effects in
the drilling industry. Narrowing down to drilling fluids line of drilling
industry, identifying causes for absence of a mandate to utilize in
drilling fluids recovery packages on drilling platforms in Mena,

2. Oil & Gas Drilling
• Offshore & Onshore drilling
requires drilling fluids to
continue drilling, So we will
need to either transport
materials and basic fluids to
drilling platforms to build mud
OR we can transfer the
drilling fluids which has
already built to drilling
platform.

3. Drilling Fluids
Drilling Fluids refers to the liquid and
gaseous fluid or mixtures of fluids and solids
used in drilling operations. They are widely
used to provide lubrication, cooling to the drill
bit, remove cuttings from the well, control
formation pressure, seal permeable
formations, and maintain wellbore stability in
drilling operation. Drilling fluids are also
known as drilling mud. Drilling fluids are
generally classified as water based, oil based
and synthetic fluids.

11. The new technology, A quench of
deprivation.
• The mechanical and dynamic
separators utilized for separation
purposes in drilling fluids systems were
all brought by past technologies,
migrated from mining industry to oil
and gas.
• However, since mid 2018, the
mechanical separation technology
have changed and drilling fluids
separation technology and is now able
to remove Low Gravity and High
Gravity cuttings in an effective way, in
which, other industry representatives
will not be able to deprive NOC’s and
IOC’s operators of money.

19. The Message
Considering huge challenges which Oil and Gas industry faces,
Oil and Gas decision makers are better to minimize their
benefits to other industries such as mining and civil, Instead,
by producing more recoverable materials in their
petrochemical plants, and implementation of recycling
technologies, they can keep the budget in the Oil and Gas
circle meanwhile recover the rate of unemployment in the
industry, the significant benefit of this decision is, a cleaner
environment and a less budget to be allocated for the
production by investing further in capital equipment. The
impact in comparison to the size is huge.
