Description of drilling cutting boxes

Drilling cuttings boxes are also referred to mud skips Widely used for transportation and safe handling of drill cuttings or fluid waste to and from drilling site or platforms These units provide a safe and efficient means of containment of drilling waste for transport to treatment and disposal sites

What are the structure of the drilling cutting boxes

The cutting boxes are cubiod and cubit pattern. They are made of high quality marine sheet. They are processed stricly according practical condition. Such as the anti-corrosion painting. The leakage test, the load and unload test, the welding NDT test. There are box wall and top doors. The pad eyes, the slings and so on if ncessary.

Some clients need the boxes to hold mud weights 7000kg, while some prefer 9000kg. This is defined by the actual demand and working condition. The volume and material weight vary since the different size. On the mud skips there are top doors, the man hole side, the cleaning gate, and so on.

Where and why do we need the drilling cutting boxes

Drilling cutting boxes for one project or platform are same size. They can be loaded on each other and stacked upside to save sapce. Such cutting boxes are made with high quality seal material. This will help to transfer fluids or the mixture of solid and liquid without leakage. It's easy to handle drilling fluids at an assembly point. We know at offshore platform the cuttings may can't be treated at once but they can be shipped to land site for a better process and storage.

The drilling cuttings waste or the drilling fluids disposal discharged from solids control equipment need to be treated for further drying process. Especially for the offshore drilling waste management. The mud skips will collect the waste and cuttings from the solids control equipment or system. Then the waste will be delivered to a certain onshore place for further process.
