TWMA Scores Long-Term Deal With Equinor

Drilling waste management specialist TWMA has been contracted by Equinor for global drilling waste management services.

The 10-year deal, including options, allows TWMA to extend its global drilling waste management services to Equinor’s operations, allowing the company to process its drilling waste safely and sustainably, TWMA said in its media release.

The contract is inclusive of five scopes of work, including bulk transfer, slop treatment, swarf treatment, skip and ship and TWMA’s award-winning offshore processing technology, the RotoMill, TWMA said.

“Our collaboration with Equinor marks a significant milestone for TWMA. This collaboration is a testament to our expertise in providing innovative and sustainable drilling waste management solutions. We look forward to delivering these solutions to Equinor and supporting drilling operations in Norway,” Jan Thore Eia, TWMA business development manager in Norway, said.

This award follows a stream of success for TWMA in Norway. TWMA has supplied integrated drilling waste management services for several field development projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

“This contract underlines the impressive growth we have witnessed across our Norwegian operations. We are dedicated to delivering the best environmental practices in drilling operations and I look forward to developing our relationship in the coming years,” Halle Aslaksen, TWMA CEO, said.

“Our technology originated in Norway, so we have always held a deep connection there and we believe it is a market which boasts incredible growth opportunities for waste management solutions. By securing this contract, we are continuing to make a positive impact on the environmental footprint associated with Norway’s oil & gas production,” Aslaksen said.

“Effective and efficient drilling waste management is critical to the success of offshore drilling operations – not only in terms of environmental impact but in ensuring that drilling campaigns remain on schedule,” concluded Aslaksen.

Earlier this month, TWMA launched the RotoMill 2.0 dubbing it the most energy efficient RotoMill. It promises to deliver operators with an environmentally sustainable wellsite processing solution, according to the company, which said it features TWMA’s XLink remote monitoring software, “delivering greater operational insights, while automating the wellsite processing system”.

The technology provides operators with lower costs, improved safety and lower carbon emissions, TWMA noted. The state-of-the-art control scheme allows enhanced condition monitoring of the system, providing a predictive maintenance approach, it added.
