Mobile Onsite drilling Waste Treatment (OWT) facilities - a solution for safer, cheaper, and environmentally friendly operations

Drilling mud waste, the by-product that generates from Drilling operation, should be treated to comply with GOI (Government of Indonesia) regulations. An oil and gas field in Sumatera Island operated by PT. X produced about 50,000 bbls water base mud per month, but the centralized mud treating facil...
