    CRI Installation FluidControl Case Study English

    An operator drilling in shallow waters offshore Bahrain required a cuttings containment system and re-injection package that could be installed temporarily on a small rig with limited space. NOV FluidControl engineers designed a custom system that could be installed within 96 hours without disrupting the tight drilling schedule. Over the course of the project, over 7,000 barrels of cuttings slurry were successfully re-injected without environmental issues. The installation and removal of the re-injection unit was also completed on time and without interrupting drilling.

    FluidControl Case Study

    FluidControl Engineers Challenging CRI Installation in


    Environmentally Sensitive Area Offshore Bahrain
    Challenges
    • Drilling in shallow water,
    environmentally sensitive area
    (Dugong feeding ground).
    • Small rig that could position
    itself in shallow water and avoid
    damaging marine life was
    required, which meant limited
    deck space.
    • Because of space restrictions,
    CRI unit could not be pre
    installed in the yard.
    • Short term contract requiring
    precise execution.

    Well Information
    • Shallow water (<30ft)
    • Location: Offshore Bahrain

    Solution & Results


    • NOV FluidControl engineered a Because of rig space constraints, an operator drilling any unscheduled maintenance to the CRI package.
    cuttings containment system in shallow water offshore Bahrain required a cuttings Over the course of the project, the cuttings slurry
    and a cuttings re-injection containment system and cuttings re-injection was re-injected without environmental incident.
