An unnamed UAE operator has awarded TWMA a two-year, $70 million drilling waste management contract.

The company confirmed to Offshore that this is both an onshore and offshore contract.

This covers all Abu Dhabi’s thermal processing operations. TWMA has been processing offshore drilling waste on four artificial islands in the UAE since 2012.

The work scope under the new program includes providing 10 further jackups with skip and ship operations, and development of a new onshore treatment facility that will process more than 50,000 metric tons of waste per year.

TWMA will deploy technologies such as RotoMill 2.0 for onsite processing and recycling of drilling waste.
