Mud Plant Equipment

The mud plant provides products and services to the oil and gas drilling industry. The operations are comprised of liquid mud storage and premixing. Liquid muds are stored and premixed at the facilities in a contained area and are transported to the wellsite by platform supply vessels. The Mud Plant Equipment allows for storage capacity for the drilling operation in order to provide the drilling ship
with base oil, muds and bulk products. Muds are used during drilling activities in order to cool the drilling equipment, remove cuttings from the borehole, ensure the stability of the borehole walls and prevent possible formation fluids to enter the borehole.
