STAVANGER, Norway – Aker BP has extended TWMA’s drilling waste management contract for the Valhall Flank North and Hod B field developments in the southern Norwegian North Sea.
The original three-year contract was issued in 2019, covering drill cuttings handling, bulk transfer and cuttings processing solutions onboard the jackup Maersk Invincible for 14 wells across Valhall Flank North, South and West.
Aker BP has now exercised the first of two three-year extension options, with TWMA increasing its scope to include onshore treatment for three wells on Valhall Flank North and six wells on Hod.
The Norwegian major is seeking to produce 2 Bboe from the two fields.
Last year, Aker BP reported a new record on the Norwegian continental shelf when the rig drilled 2,278 m (7,474 ft) of a 12¼-in. section in 24 hr.
TWMA played its part through its bulk transfer and cuttings containment solution, which the company claimed helped eliminate bottlenecks and ROP limitations that might have been created by the high volumes of drill cuttings at surface.
