Cubic Drilling Waste Management Equipment Cuttings Boxes AIPU Solids

Drilling Waste Management Equipment Cuttings Boxes Can Be Customized According To Actual Demand

Description of drilling cuttings boxes

Cuttings boxes are similar to the sea shipment container but better sealed with smaller dimensions and volumes. One lot of cuttings containers will be fabricated with the same size and general frame for convenient transportation and storage. They can be used on both onshore and offshore platforms. It is high flexibility on certain sizes with custom-built service.

Technical specification of Aipu drilling mud cutting boxes

What is the structure of the drilling cutting boxes?

The cuttings boxes are cuboid and cubit patterns. They are made of high-quality marine sheets. They are processed strictly according to practical conditions. Such as the anti-corrosion painting. The leakage test, the load and unload test, the welding NDT test. There are box walls and top doors. The pad eyes, the slings, and so on if necessary.

Some clients need the boxes to hold mud weights 7000kg, while some prefer 9000kg. This is defined by the actual demand and working conditions. The volume and material weight vary of the different sizes. On the mud skips, there are top doors, the manhole side, the cleaning gate, and so on.

Where and why do we need the drilling cutting boxes?

Drilling cutting boxes for one project or platform are the same size. They can be loaded on each other and stacked upside to save space. Such cutting boxes are made with high-quality seal material. This will help to transfer fluids or the mixture of solid and liquid without leakage. It's easy to handle drilling fluids at an assembly point. We know at the offshore platforms the cuttings may be treated at once but they can be shipped to the land site for a better process and storage.

The drilling cuttings waste or the drilling fluids disposal discharged from solids control equipment need to be treated for the further drying process. Especially for offshore drilling waste management. The mud skips will collect the waste and cuttings from the solids control equipment or system. Then the waste will be delivered to a certain onshore place for further process.

The working principle of the cuttings box

The cuttings box is generally placed close to the solids control equipment so that the cuttings can be moved closer to the box for easy packing. Fill a box, then move it away and put another fantasy. If drilling on land, the filled drill cuttings box is transported to the cuttings processing system for processing. In the case of offshore drilling, when the specified number of boxes is filled, it is transported back to the coast by a workboat. The empty container on the dock will be transported back to the working ship when it returns.    

Application range of cuttings box

For offshore drilling operations, the cuttings box is mainly used to transport waste drilling fluid and cuttings to shore. It has now been extended to land drilling. Limited by the lifting load of early drilling rigs, an easy way to collect and transport drill cuttings is to use the drill cuttings box.

Characteristics of Aipu drilling boxes 

1) Good sealing. The cuttings box produced by Aitong has a lockable and sealed cover to prevent the cuttings from falling off during transportation.

2) There is sufficient strength. According to the standard, the cuttings box produced by Aitong will not leak and deform when dropped from a height of one meter, and the slides, frame, and base pillars must be kept in good condition.

Drilling cutting box mainly used offshore to transport abandoned drilling fluid and cuttings to onshore. But cutting boxes have already generalized to onshore at present.

The drilling cutting box produced by Dachuan have the following characteristics:

1. Structure of the cutting box is indurative and with a watertight seal.

2. The bottom of the cutting box is planar and has no bulge.

3. Weld surface molding is uniform, densification, closely integrated with the steel plate, seamless, and has no oversize surplus height of seam, weld beading, arc crater, undercut, and other defects.

4. Antiseptic sandblasting of Q235A steel, twice of epoxy zinc-rich primer, pen guard midcoast MIO, and chlorinated rubber top-coat. the thickness of dry edit paint film is larger than 100um

5. CCS Certificate of offshore drilling cutting box.
