Unique technology for the safe collection, storage and movement of drill cuttings
Our VACUUM COLLECTION SYSTEM (VCS) collects, stores and moves drilled cuttings within a totally enclosed environment, minimizing spills and contamination. The M-I SWACO vacuum collection system is based on state-of-the-art vacuum technology. The vacuum transfer method offers a safe and reliable alternative to many cuttings recovery processes now commonly used offshore. It is field-proven and cost effective as well as simple to rig up and operate.
The VCS prevents many of the safety and environmental risks associated with cuttings collection and containment. In addition, it is easy to configure to any rig, requires little or no welding, and sets up quickly and easily. These same features allow it to be moved from one location to another in a minimal amount of time. The totally enclosed system minimizes spills and containment problems, vapor escape or safety issues that can arise with open systems.
The basic M-I SWACO vacuum system consists of Cuttings Collection Boxes, a Rig Vacuum Tank and a Vacuum Power Skid. It has the advantages of being a totally contained system powerful enough to transport both fluids and cuttings vertically as well as horizontally over fairly long distances. Modular and adaptable, the system minimizes the amount of floor space required for operation. Further, once on-line, the system does not interrupt the drilling operation.
