Effectively Managing
Cuttings Build-Up

Avoiding cuttings build-up demands robust, innovative solutions to maintain operational functionality and environmental compliance around the wellhead.

The Challenges with Cuttings Build-Up

During top-hole drilling without a marine riser, cuttings and cement accumulate around the wellhead, interfering with crucial operations like umbilical tie-ins and pipe laying. This accumulation can affect BOP, X-mas Tree installation, and the surrounding subsea templates, posing risks to equipment placement and operational functionality.

Environmental regulations may also restrict dumping mud and cuttings around the wellbore, further complicating drilling activities.

Avoid Cuttings Build-Up Issues | Enhanced Drilling

Clearing the Way with Enhanced Cuttings Management

Traditional methods for managing cuttings often involve manual removal, which can be inefficient and hazardous, especially in reduced visibility conditions. Our Cuttings Transportation System (CTS) and Riserless Mud Recovery (RMR®) systems provide innovative solutions to transport cuttings away from the wellhead efficiently, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and operational efficiency.

Streamlined Operations with CTS and RMR®

To effectively manage cuttings build-up during top-hole drilling, technologies must do more than remove debris — they require robustness, efficiency, and environmental sensitivity.

Our solutions, CTS and RMR®, are specifically designed to ensure clean and compliant operations, maintaining clear wellhead areas and safeguarding the surrounding marine environment.

CTS

Enhancing Subsea Clarity and Compliance
CTS efficiently transports all drilling returns to a designated location away from the wellhead. This system ensures that the area around the wellhead remains clear for other subsea activities, reducing the risk of operational delays and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Key Benefits:

  • Keep wellhead area free of debris
  • Transport cuttings away from environmentally sensitive zones

RMR®

Advancing Environmental Compliance

RMR® enhances the capabilities of CTS by directing all returns to the rig with a closed-loop system. This technology not only prevents any discharge into the sea but also allows for continuous monitoring of well conditions, which is essential for maintaining operational safety and environmental compliance.

Key Benefits:

  • Zero discharge 
  • Reduced logistics
  • No debris around wellhead
  • Engineered fluid
