TWMA has been
awarded a contract worth up to $15million to support a large-scale oil and gas
project for bp in Egypt.
The drilling waste management specialists
will utilise its award-winning RotoMill® drill
cuttings processing technology to process all drilling waste generated from
bp’s WND & END exploration and development project in the Mediterranean
Sea. Expected to last up to five years, work will commence in October this
year.
Chosen for its environmental benefits,
the RotoMill uses a process of thermal desorption to separate drill cuttings
and associated materials into their three constituent parts: oil, water and
solids, for recycling and reuse. TWMA’s precision equipment establishes optimum
temperatures to ensure that recovered base oil retains its full original
quality and can be reused in the drilling mud system.

Abdelrahman Amin, General Manager for TWMA Egypt, said: “This contract is a testament to the lasting relationship we have built with bp since we began working with them in 2005. Having proven our capabilities throughout our North African operations, we were chosen as the trusted contractor to support this project based on the quality performance we have consistently delivered.
“The environmental benefits associated with this technology were an important factor in securing this award. bp are always eager to ensure their project’s environmental impact is kept to a minimum. By utilising the RotoMill on this operation, bp can recover and reuse valuable base oil in their drilling system, delivering both environmental and commercial value to their operation.
